Cpu and core affect on preformance

[walshmf5220]

Can you describe how the number of cores can affect cpu performance? On a E74850 does each of 10 cores get 2GHz

 

[HugoStiglitz]

yes each core is 2ghz

its bad at running basic things like word. games & such

however its great for running high end server applications and virtaul servers.

Cores are best made use of with highly multithreaded programs or running several programs simultaneously. Video encoding and batch converting files in folders is two of the most common ways multicore processors are best made use of. Games also do, though not as extensively as video encoding.
