RULES:
1. Hyperthreading isn't loving cores. 4 cores + 4058783734746 threads from hyperthreading doesnt mean you have more than 4 cores.
2. Server Cores allowed.
3. Based off Core Amount & Clock Rate, that means your quad at 1.60ghz = a single core at 4.80GHZ.
4. Age also counts, your 8GHZ Core 2 Quad doesn't compare to my 2GHZ 8 core Bulldozer (like thats ever gonna come out).
5. Mobile Cores you suck.
Current:
1. Eightfold - i5 2500 @ Stock (3.30GHZ) with 4 cores.
I can understand #2 at most, but everything else is bullstuff.
1. Hyperthreading = forced two threads per core, er go, its a pseudo-octacore.
3. No. Just because I have a Core i7 930 at 2.8 GHz does not mean it is equal to a singlecore at 11.2 GHz. This is not logical math and I don't understand why people come up with this. Each core is just at 2.8 GHz.
4. An 8 GHz Core 2 Quad would probably still stand at least equal to a 2GHz octacore.
5. Dependent on the mobile processor. A low end Core 2 Duo is obviously not great, but there are laptops with Core i5s from 2.2 to 2.6 GHz.
That being said, I have a Core i7-930 down at 2.66 GHz for cooling reasons.
