update! Are intel really being that original though? We know that Core is a true successor to P3/P-M, both great chips. Also AMD have already included both cores on a single peice of silicon. And now intel is touting energy efficieny the same way that...

then all they need to do is sell upper mainstream, mainstream and entry level as triple, dual and single cores. Alternatively, the enthusiast part could be two dual core GPU's, with one mainstream dual core and a single core entry level. I don't see any...

a funny feeling(hope im not wrong) that you are a silly noob who doesn't understand the difference about multi cores and multi sockets just like those who say you need xp pro to use anything other than single cores. I think the reality of it is that Vista is...

dual core is the way to go when ya do really need it as that a dual core is likely to perform not as good as single cores now because not much software is made for multi cores. and IMO AMD's dual core option is better and cheaper because even if intel's cheapest...

you'd see a hugh difference. You went from a single core at 2GHz w/512k cache to a dual core at 2GHz w/512k cache. You should get anywhere from the same performance on single threaded apps up to 60% faster on multi-threaded apps. actually my 3000 ran at 1.8,...

In another thread, someones putting down the single threaded perf increase as being foolish because their particular usage requires MT. Well, single threaded improvements would do more in the ling haul than any doubling of cores, as theres a limit to its effectiveness...

the right idea. I thought GPU was the core? :??: I agree. Perhaps even multi-(small-seperate)core single die will work for a while. We will see if the r700/g100 can add 100% more performance with each new core. Rather than a 30% gain with each core using...

Age of Conan ?. Can any one tell me for sure if Age of Conan is multi threaded, (AKA quad core better then dual core) and does it utilize sli? I cant find nothing on the web except the minimum and recommended specs. I was wondeing because I sold a PC with...

the U.S. or Canada) even let you order items by check. Where do you live first of all (country). The Athlon LE-1640 is a single core CPU.It's a great single core but only multi core CPU's like Dual Core,Triple Core or Quad Cores will multitask well. What...
