Which is embedded in my first comment on game multithreading: "older" games assume 4 cores, some are single-threaded.

This has no bearing on how new the engine is. The workloads scale much differently when it comes to parallelism. While it might possible to get a little more parallelism and concurrency with a newer engine. The ability to scale is much more limited for games.
