Frequently asked questions

What is a multicore CPU?


You can only use operating frequency to compare the ultimate CPU power between two chips of the exact same architecture. So comparing a 3.2Ghz operating frequency of a single core P4 to a 2.56 Ghz speed of a dual core chip is not at all an apples to apples comparison as you've guessed. The "speed" of a CPU that most people refer to is more accurately described as it's overall processing power.

A dual core 2.56 CPU still runs at 2.56Ghz....period. However, it has two "mostly" independent cores that can work on separate tasks at the same time. So while the operating frequency doesn't change, the overall processing power is theoretically doubled. BUT, since there are parts of the CPU architecture that are shared by both cores, the reality is that a Dual core CPU might give you 1.6 times (or so) the overall processing power of a single core at the same operating frequency.

Hyperthreading, without getting overly technical, is a way to try to do the same type of thing with one physical core. Hyperthreading, or "Parallel Processing" tries to create "virtual" cores and separates the processing capability of a single core into multiple tasks ("threads"). You can actually have a dual core (or any number of core) CPU that ALSO has Hyperthreading abilities.
