Why do duo processors have much higher GHz than quad-cores?


Sorry for all the questions, I've just been curious about ALOT of computer things.

[Mokthraka]

because 1 is using 2 cores and one is using 4 but quad cores are better well will be after more games support 4 cores

[korby]

So some games don't run on quad-cores..?

[Willy]

All games work on quad cores, but only some will use up all 4 cores (most older games aren't programmed to use 4 cores, and will only use 1 or 2).

[Mokthraka]

no no ALL games will run on quad core but the 3rd and 4th core arnt used

[superweapons]

Just by raising the clock multiplier, Intel and AMD charge more for their processors. That's what they do to compensate for the remaining 2 cores.

All games should properly run on a quad core, but non of them utilize all four cores (at least not Crysis). So in a sense, you are future-proofing yourself by getting a quad core.

[Leena]

So the point is that you can play a game that takes 2 cores and do something else at the same time without lagging too much or at all.

Any modern game is likely very multithreaded.

[Mokthraka]

if you mean that it can use more then 2 cores your so wrong most games in fact almost EVERY game uses only 2 cores max and mabey 1 uses 4

Thing is - when the games which supports quad core, the prices will be much much lower. It's unnecessary to buy a quad core atm imo, the only quad core I would buy is q9300.
