WE NEED SEX CORES DAMMIT! The future depends on the outcome of the technology race between intel and AMD tho. Not to mention software devs. What good do having a multicore system when the software cannot take advantage of it?

QUOTE(kapitan @ Oct 9 2007, 02:01 PM) I think if Intel or AMD can make software think of their multicore cpu as one, it would be a lot easier. Many companies would be reluctant to spent money to get their programs to recognise multicore. you don't need to. It will just use single core as default. It's never about recognise multicore, but to UTILISE all of it so that it will become faster.

Anyway about the topic there still a majority of softwares that did not take advantage of the quad cores speed. It's not about the speed, but how the software utilises the extra cores. if the software can use all teh cores possible, even a 1.8Ghz Dual Core can beat a 3.0Ghz single core.
