It's not the processor, it's the software. Most games run full screen thus you can't watch anything but the game. If you do run in window you're going to need a really big monitor to have enough screen space to make the movie watchable and game playable. Much cheaper to use a TV for your movies.

Actually to do that right you need that type of CPU (some both programs can run at the same time) and you need a computer video card that has a two-screen/split-screen option. I use ATI video card, but I know that some 'GeForce' video cards offer that option.
