More than 1 core is only useful if the software is written in such a way that it can do 2 or more things in parallel.

Wikipedia can answer your questions and more!


But it was just confusing me. So I was hoping that the fine people here at RAFO could give me an "idiot's guide" or some quick answers on how all that worked. ;)

I'm not computer technically inclined, but I do love to pwn me some noobs. ;)

Forum posts should be like a skirt. Long enough to cover the topic but short enough to keep your attention.

Multicore Processors grogg0316 - 06/04/2011 03:11:15 PM 1043 Views
that specific example: yes, that'd be more than sufficient. *NM* LadyLorraine - 06/04/2011 03:32:07 PM 269 Views
Not necessarily. Aemon - 06/04/2011 10:28:53 PM 739 Views
I was assuming we were talking about two processors of the same brand. LadyLorraine - 06/04/2011 10:51:14 PM 657 Views
Phenom II is about the same speed as a core 2 Roland00 - 07/04/2011 03:47:08 PM 690 Views
Yeah, sorry, I made a dyslexic typo. Aemon - 07/04/2011 08:42:46 PM 859 Views
It depends on whether or not the software is written to use multiple cores. Helene - 06/04/2011 04:03:44 PM 831 Views

If it's just video games, go to this link. Ghavrel - 06/04/2011 08:59:36 PM 837 Views
If it requires a dual core, it by definition supports multithreading. Ghavrel - 06/04/2011 08:57:08 PM 853 Views
It's not enough to know clock speed and number of cores. Aemon - 06/04/2011 09:56:24 PM 734 Views
Which software are you looking at? Roland00 - 07/04/2011 04:28:16 PM 871 Views
