Are games still single threaded?

Are most games still single threaded?

However, the rest of the game engine generally runs in a single thread. There are reasons for this. For example, most processing in a game runs a single chain of dependencies. Graphics depend on state of physics engine as does the artificial intelligence.

Are games single threaded or multi threaded?

Most games are single threaded. Games mainly use 1-3 cores at most, with some exceptions like BF4 where it has multi core optimization.
