Chris Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 It has always been a frequent question -- "Will I benefit from multiple processors?" With the growing popularity of dual core processors, the topic is more important than ever! Will multiple processors or a dual core processor be beneficial to you, and what are the differences between them? These are the questions this article will attempt to lay to rest.A major question for some people getting ready to buy a high-end system is whether they want or need to have two processors available to them. For anyone doing video editing, multi-threaded applications, or a lot of multitasking the answer is a very clear 'yes'. Then the question becomes whether two separate processors (as in a dual Xeon or Opteron system) is the way to go, or whether a single dual-core CPU (like a Pentium D or Athlon64 X2) will do just as well. Dual CPU vs dual core -- which is better?!More | Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Thanks for that chris, I have just upgraded to an AMD X2 processor and now have an idea what the benefits are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
