IamBatosai Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Does anybody know what a Quad Core Processor is? And it's advanteg's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Well, according to my knowledge of it, it's a four core (as opposed to a two core) processor. There isn't really much benefit with today's games as none are built to take advantage of quad core technology, but certainly tomorrow's games will see a speed boost from one of those things. Basically it's only worth buying one (and paying the ludicrous pricetag) if you want to "futureproof" your PC for high spec games 1-2 years down the line.

Dark0ne Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 SupCom takes advantage of quad core processors AFAIK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Does it? I know from what I've read it's definitely built to take full advantage of dual core and "eat them like cornflakes" as PC Gamer put it, but I wasn't aware it had capacity to expand into quad core processors as well... You're better read up on SupCom than me I think so I'll take your word for it. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marxist ßastard Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hey Switch, can you find my thread on dual core processors? Pretty much everything I said there applies here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamBatosai Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 On a dual core you can have both Windows and Mac. Does that also apply here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamBatosai Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Uh... Who told you that?About every computer person I know. At least it's part of the equation. That's also what they say at the Mac Store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marxist ßastard Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 “The equation?” Since when did an equation come into play? I thought this was about processors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
