CPUs can be multi-cored ... eg: Pentium single core, Core-i3 dual core, Core-i5 quad core ...
OK, the marketeers have been playing games, so it's not quite as simple as that, but nevermind ...
likewise Apps can be threaded - single or multi ... and, if multi, can take advantage of multi-cores ...
OSs, too, can be clever enough to look-out for mutli-threading opportunities ...
question is, though - is Cortex multi-threaded ...
and how clever is Windows ... Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8 ...
in other words, if buying a new PC, to be used just to run Cortex (and whatever else it needs, but no-more), what sort of CPU should we go-for ... ????
ie: would the more expensive ones show to advantage ... ?
likewise, Cache is used to alleviate load on RAM, and RAM is used to alleviate load on HD ...
and i5 has more Cache than i3, which has more than Pentium ...
in other words, how much RAM would it be best to go for ... ??
anyone any ideas ?
