Choosing a new kickass CPU.

[Flanker]

No, its like running half the game on one processor and half the game on the other.

4GHz might be a fair enough concept in this case, but its not that hard to think of it the right way, so lets do that shall we?

If you're talking about a 4400+, each physical core operates at 2.2GHz and has 1MB L2 Cache so it's basically like having two 3700+ San Diego cores...one is processing your gameplay and the other one could be doing something like burning a CD or something, if you look at it that way, it's quite a powerful processor

And of course one games become multithreaded both cores can be used to split the load meaning your processor is going to be powerful in a wide variety of enviroments for quite some time

KICK...ASS.

Multithreading means executing two threads simultainously, one on each core. And each core is 2.0GHz (give or take depending on what you get), so yes, theoretically a multithreaded game running on a 2.0GHz dual core CPU should perform like 4GHz.
