A silly/dumb question that I hope y'all can help me with.
When comparing software requirements, how do multicore processors work out?
For instance, if a piece of software requires a dual core processor at 3.2 ghz, would a quad core processor at 2.7 ghz be sufficient? are the cores additive? How does that work out?
Thanks!

Forum posts should be like a skirt. Long enough to cover the topic but short enough to keep your attention.

that specific example: yes, that'd be more than sufficient. *NM*

I was assuming we were talking about two processors of the same brand.

It depends on whether or not the software is written to use multiple cores.

If it requires a dual core, it by definition supports multithreading.
