Subject: A question about Dual Programs

Author: Joshua Lee

Date: 22:20:56 09/26/01


I am wondering how much faster is a dual version of a program as compared to a
single processor one if the clock speed is equal?   anotherwords you have a dual
1Ghz which is supposed to be roughly 1.7Ghz and you have another comp that is a
single 1.7Ghz. Keep in mind the programs are roughly identical unlike a fritz vs
deep fritz cause deep fritz is supposed to be even stronger on a single cpu than
fritz 6. For instance if i went out and got a quad 700  which is supposed to be
about 2.170Ghz would it really be like 4.340Ghz with a SMP program? Maybe i am
confused?

Thank you
