| 705963 | 2008-09-17 09:28:00 | Is 2.1 the real speed or what?? What exactly is tripled?? Are there 3 cores in it, and if so, what would the speed of each core be, if its only 2.1? |

| 705964 | 2008-09-17 09:37:00 | The x2 cpu lines are dualcore only as far as I'm aware. The speed given is the clock frequency of the CPU, i.e. if they said it was a 2.1GHz CPU, then you'd have two cores running at 2.1GHz. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 705965 | 2008-09-17 09:47:00 | Oops you maybe right, I mean the AM2+ CPU's (by the looks of it, the x2 ends at 6400) So, if it were triple core, it'll have 3 cores @ 2.1 each? Or 3 cores @ 2.1 total? |

| 705966 | 2008-09-17 09:50:00 | Three cores, each running at 2.1GHz. Clock frequency isn't an additive unit, the total clock frequency for a chip with three 2.1GHz cores is still 2.1GHz. If you want an additive unit, use some kind of operations/sec measurement (flops is the most common). | Erayd (23) | ||
| 705967 | 2008-09-17 09:53:00 | ok, gotcha. thanx for the info :) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
