Quad Core Processors vs. Dual Core Processors for Gaming

Can a dedicated server run on a quadcore?

Can a dedicated server run on a quadcore?

I'd think that a dedicated server would make use of all the cores available
But then again I don't know how the inner workings of Dedicated servers work

Dedicated server for what?
Blockland would only use one.

Get a quad core,I have a quad and have never had issues with anything not working

(most new games are made for quad)

I have a amd quad core

[HellHound]

I think my comp has it..

Well, it doesn't really matter, as long as a bunch of dedicated servers use whatever CPU is not in use.

Even if they do such an undesirable thing (sharing a core), you could always change it while it's running.

The Intel Cores have Turbo Mode which uses all idle cores for extra power, or something of the sort. :/

Bump for poll.

Do AMD processors have something like this? I know they are cheaper, but I'm just wondering.

 You know, without much computer knowledge I would think moar co bete computer run.

Like a Six-Core 3 GHz processor would do the same as a Four-Core 3 GHz processor if the game only need 3 cores.

The number of cores on a chip isn't the only metric that should be considered. There are several different architectures that have the same number of cores and very different levels of performance on different types of tasks.

If he's talking about Hyper-Threading, Intel implemented that feature because their circuit designs were actually wasting clock cycles. AMD never put this feature on their chips since their designs didn't have that problem.
