thanks!

I am trying to troubleshoot a problem with a proprietary software I work for. Our MINIMUM specs are P3 3GHZ. I am looking at one company who has a DUAL Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2603 v3 Performance # of Cores 6 # of Threads 6 Processor Base Frequency 1.60 GHz So they perform a certain function in the software, and one core of the 12 PEGS to 100% until complete. While this happens the software becomes unresponsive. I want to make a recommendation that each CORE needs to be higher MHZ count. It's great that you have 12 cores (no hyperthreading), but our software only uses 1. Does anyone have any data on how a single core P3 from 10 years ago actual compares to a single core of the above mentioned E5? I know modern CPU's are better and more efficient, but can it really make up a 50% clock speed deficiency with other efficiency improvements? I would love to see some data on this - again, single threaded apps only.
