How to get the total clock speed of pentium d 930??

[cuteboy]

Hi guys i need to know the total clock speed of my cpu
It says pentium d 930 3GHZ
it is made by
1.5+1.5=3GHZ or 3+3=6GHZ???

Neither. It's made of 2 identical cores, each runs at 3.0 Ghz.

I generally explain to people it's like a highway. Each core is like a highway lane with a speed limit. For example, let's say the speed limit on a highway is 80MPH, let's also say that there is 4 highway lanes.

Instead of the 4 highway lanes merging becoming one big 'super' highway with a speed limit of 320MPH, all 4 highway lanes are running at 80MPH.

Hey mocchan, is this method has used in all of the intel processors????
I meant all type of
eg - C2D
C2Q
Ci3
..etc

Yes, I typically explain it to people like that with ANY CPU

It's a little complicated with Intel's Core i3 and i7 chips due to their Hyperthreading, however it's still a similar concept.
