CPU Requirements

Final Fantasy IX requires that you have a minimum of an Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz or higher processor. For the best game experience an Core i5 2520 2.5GHz or better (or better) processor is recommended.

Some games require a powerful CPU in order to manage the game engine. The game engine deals with things like processing network communications for multi-player games and the AI of your enemies in strategy games. Some games are considered CPU intensive or CPU dependent. Most modern games offload work directly to the GPU and don't require a powerful CPU for demanding visuals.
