Okay, I'm sure I'm going to get a bunch of flameing for this.
I've read on numerous threads that single core has the advantage in games over the dual core. Lets say I have a 2.2 GHz single core, and a 2.2 GHz dual core.
AMD 64 3700+ SD
AMD X2 4400+ Toledo
Games that don't support dual core will run the game at 2.2GHz, correct? The same speed the single core 3700+ will run it at. Would the difference in L1 cache change any performance? We're talking 64 vs. 128.
I ask this because I basiclly got a free X2 4400+ and I'm convinced that it will run single core games just like a 3700+ CPU would, if not better due to the extra L1 Cache.
