your joking right?? You realize that as time goes on quad-cores will be better untilized. Valve just upgraded their dev PCs to Core i7s because of their hardware poll. |
The problem is all four cores in this architecture use the same cache and contend with each other for main memory accesses through the same memory controller (along with any dma operations). This is why people pay big bucks for machines with quad-processor opterons each of which has it's own MC.
