"For example, most current (as of 2006) PC games will run faster on a 3 GHz single-core processor than on a 2GHz dual-core processor (of the same core architecture),[citation needed] despite the dual-core theoretically having more processing power, because they are incapable of efficiently using more than one core at a time." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-core_(computing)#Disadvantages But something is happening there... ""c't has tested ThreadWeaver on an experimental 4 core system with hyperthreading, and it scales very nicely with the CPU power. Loading 56 4MBit images files took a little over 2 seconds. I guess that is fast." http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/2714 Best Regards Asmo Koskinen. -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
