Could 2 cpu's potentially outperform one cpu?

[guyosi]

could 2 quad core or dual core chips match up to a quad core or 8 core in terms of performance? 

[DominicNikon]

no because you cant have 2 dual core chips, you could have duel 8 core xeons tho.

@LinusTech @Slick thats some nice video content

same price. 1x8 core vs 2x 4 core

[seabass9990]

outperform - i doubt it even if it did the rig wouldn't be worth it

 

match up- that would depend on the specific processor and config and what you were doing i guess

so your saying 2 6700k or 6600k or 4790k? i dont think you can do 2 chips on z170 or z97

xeons ? 

[BoredErica]

Depends on the workload. For gaming, not so much.

I was thinking 2 4790k's vs a 5960X or 2 i7u chips against a 4 core mobile cpu

You got me curious aanndd. http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/cpu/#C=4&k=28&xcx=0

yeah but I don'T think z97 can do dual cpu's.

maybe it can. idk

you cant do 2 4790ks. you can do duel 6,8 or more core xeons

I know xeons can do multi cpu but what about consumer chips, do they just not have that ability?

consumer chips cant do 2 chips  

[glitchmaster0001]

ive never seen dual i series CPUs but i have seen dual xeons cpus

[PCgamer324]

My overclocked dual Hexacore system still destroys even the fastest single chips (like 5960x)

no it just isn't supported.

You can only do dual xeon on lga 2011 server motherboards. The lga 1150/1151/1155 and older consumer socket motherboard flat out don't support it. It really is only a good idea for servers that really need the extra cores. Those motherboards tend to be 300 dollars plus anyways. 

Basically you can only do it with xeons on lga 2011 on a motherboard that supports it.
