So when you have 2 processor in your mobo, does it add them up together or act just like cores.
Example:
2x Intel Core i7-920 Bloomfield 2.66GHz
Will give you 8 cores 5.12ghz? with 4x 512kb L1 and 16mb L3

or
2x Intel Core i7-920 Bloomfield 2.66GHz
Will just be seperated like cores, the computer will read both seperatly.

Unfortunately, the computer will read both separately, and normally, one won't be used.

There are some applications that do use both, however. These are professional apps.

the two different cpu's cannot work together as well as the multiple cores within the cpu's themself.

you MIGHT get some performance increase and some extra encoding power, but you will not see a huge improvement, i think they made those specifically to run multiple pci-e slots and ram sticks (8 ram slots instead of 4, 8 pcie slots instead of 4)



fuuuu ur too fast, i hope for your sake this isnt always true.

Isn't this used mainly in server / similar application processes? Where the major computing of the CPUs are to do very basic (but lengthy calculations), being able to fully utilize every core in every processor, lmk if I'm wrong.

lmk see sig, lol - i was trolling the d2 us east classic section the other day because 8 posts in a row said "lmk" so i quoted them all, bolded them and said lmk.

delivered a lot of lulz.

I can't wait until I lose my 10% warn so that I can post random shit in the Love Line section and make fun of people who get aids on their first time losing the big V.

yeah, i think ALL dual slot mobos are server mobos

also tehy cost a SHITLOAD

Your math = fail math.

there can only be one core i7 to a mobo.
and if there were two, their clocks wouldn't double just because there were two of them.

btw you're a faggot. stop spamming.

and i just noticed. 2.66 * 2 = 5.32 not 5.12

Nah, Skulltrail is one good example.
