A friend of mine is building himself a custom build games pc, and is considering whether or not to use single or dual core. He has discussed it with me and seems set on single core, but I am curious to know what you think.
Basically, his argument is as follows:
The dual core helps run multiple applications, but any application can only access one of the cores at any one time. This means it would be preferable to have a game running off a single core 4GHz processor, than a dual core 2.2GHz processor, as the maximum it could access from the dual cores would be the 2.2.
Is his thinking correct?
