So when the game then dumps all the work on the first core, severe stuttering and freezes while playing starts occurring. Each individual core is not powerful enough to run a game such as NFS:HP smoothly on its own.
Now, I have a decently fast CPU (I7 3770 GHz), but it is designed to evenly distribute tasks to all the eight cores (4 physical, 4 simulated or 'Hyper-Threaded') it runs on. The reason for this is that (at least on my PC), the game will try to load all its processing needs to the first core on my processor. Unfortunately the game was not optimized for multi core CPU's, and this can cause problems like crash to desktop, freezes or in my case, severe cases of frame rate stuttering. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is by now old enough that most PC's should be able to run it flawlessly.
