dual processors = double the specs

hey guys , this is austin and today......

shit ! 

 

so yeah! i  wanted to know that does having dual processors in your PC make your specs double too

e.g if i had 2x xeon 
               quad core
                2.0 GHz clock speed

                 12mb cache
does that mean i get
 

           8 cores

           4 ghz clock speed

           24mb cache?

 

thnx ...........any and every information is appreciated

Double the core count

Same clock speed (which does not matter today anyways)

And I would ASSUME double the cache?

[Enderman]

no

you get 8 cores with 24mb cache and 2GHz per core

 

frequency does not stack

 

and youre going to have reduced performance compared to a single 8 core CPU

Its computer law that if you have 2 of one thing, you get a 150% < in real performance bonus

 

Although most apps and games are not built for 8 cores and will just ignore the second one, but in some games like GTA 5 you will probably get a 150% improvement and editing programs

[manikyath]

dual processors just gives you double the amount of cpu threads, it doesnt make the individual threads faster.

 

so you'd have:

8 cores

2GHz

two pools of 12MB cache, one for each group of 4 cores. (i'm not quite sure how they handle this)

thats actually not true. if you have the software that can make use of the entire thing (SLI/CF for gaming isnt that.) you can actually get perfect scaling.

CAD work and videorendering would certainly like it. Also your signature's shortcut for high contrast mode reminds me of "griefing" my school's PCs. Turn it on and due to restrictions, it thinks its off after being turned on, so you literally cannot turn it off. And it spreads...

didnt know that, although it still stands for raid 1 i believe

There is only one way to get cured, and that is to reset your theme options

oh god, what have i done

I discovered it many months ago. The best part is that you cannot change the theme, you are locked out of doing so.

You'll have to account for hotter temps too.

I'm pretty sure it follows SLI/Crossfire rules: you have 24 MB in total, technically, but each L3 cache serves the processor it's physically located on. It's not a monolithic 24 MB pool that can be filled with unique data.

[Mike-Litorus]

ok so the clock speed stays the same! so will it be able to run a r9 290 with out massive bottlenecks?

[Mike-Litorus]

temps are least of my concerns right now ! i have that part figured out

[Mike-Litorus]

thnx

No, the specs does not get combined. Each CPU is independent from one another. Just like sli. 2 gtx 980 does not give you a combined 12gb of vram. It's still 6gb each.
