Thanks Pascal.
In fact, the question comes from the reading of many forums / blogs
specialized in hardware from which it is clear that the differences
among microprocessors are not only measured in "clock speed". There are
a number of processors with lower clock speed but better managing the
cache (with their microcode) that perform better than microprocessor
clocked higher. This is just one of many examples. So the question is
not trivial!
About J, of course, the parallelism must be "manually managed", but, for
example, if a better managed microprocessor handle more efficiently data
in cache for each task, the whole application will be globally more
efficient as a sum of the single more efficient active tasks.

i7 is the obvious high end, though I would guess that single processor ghz
would help J the most. I don't regret getting amd APU myself. Parallel things
in J usually means multiple instances communicating with each other.

Subject: [Jgeneral] Intel i3, i5 or i7
What processor is the best to run parallel intensive calculus J routines?
Any advice is welcome to help me to understand better before buy a new
notebook.
Thanks
