RE: 64 bit processors
The i7 is a quad core, so 1 processor, with four path ways within, it works in a similar way to having 4 processors. But quad processors would melt a laptop due to the heat disapation. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Scott Granados Sent: Thursday, 4 November 2010 8:29 a.m. To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: 64 bit processors Well I believe my MBP has 8 cores so I'm not sure about that unless I misunderstood.

Re: 64 bit processors
Hi, The i7 comes in dual and quad core variants. Then add hyperthreading and the OS will see 4 or 8 cores respectively. In the MBP the highest spec is a dual core i7, the iMac goes to quad core i7 and the Mac Pro goes to dual 6 core beasties.

Re: 64 bit processors
Ok, I think I have the answer. Quadcore is the high end then if you add hyper threading you get 8 virtual cores (apple's term not mine) or more accurately the OS thinks there are 8 cores which is a product of hyper threading. Sounds more reasonable. Thanks Scott On Nov 3, 2010, at 12:42 PM, Ben Mustill-Rose wrote: Hmmm.

Re: 64 bit processors
Hi First, if you have an I7 you obviously have a 64 bit processor. That asside look for the values of IODeviceTree and grep for firmware-abi that value will tell you the value of your controler wich will be 32 or 64. Use the normal io tools under terminal to display this output. Hope that helps.

Re: 64 bit processors
It does. Thanks. So then, for something like VLC, which has distributions for 32, 64, and a combination distribution for both, I assume I'm better off installing the 64 bit package, or is there anything else I need to be concerned about?

Re: 64 bit processors
Make sure you boot using the 64 bit kernel. If that's the case then yes I'd run native 64 apps if it were me. On Nov 2, 2010, at 4:57 PM, Joshua Loya wrote: It does. Thanks.
