Your single-core processor must have been pretty weak. :\

dual-core means two cores

Did you just actually type that out?

I thought this was so neat, it was worth posting. Below is an image of the AMD Phenom Quad-Core Die. Quite the eye-candy if you ask me.

Clicky!

After some much needed research it appears you're right. A true dual-core processor does indeed include two cores on the same die. Quad-core processors do have two dies though, each holding two cores.

Yes, but those aren't "real" quadcores, according to the definition of a dualcore having 2 cores on 1 piece of silicon. A "real" quadcore should have 4 cores on 1 piece of silicon.

I did notice that, but I thought I'd post that anyway, just to clarify.

I think that people only think duel core processors are better just because of the placebo effect. The power of suggestion, which is very powerful and you don't know that it has taken hold of you. There are only certain people who are not affected by it (as much).

Duel core processors will only make your computer fast if you run a server type application that utilizes duel core tech. "I run 3DS max and visual studio" is an example of when a duel core processor would NOT make a difference.

The fastest single core processor is a full 2 minutes slower than the fastest dual core processor when rendering in 3DSMax now stop acting like a moron and read more.

How can you expect us to believe you when you're using "duel" instead of the correct "dual"? Anyway, other than the benchmarks that prove you're a blithering idiot, I've already addressed the whole "there are no programs that use it" part. Here, read it again:

Sure, not single applications, but multiple applications can be distributed among the cores to lighten the load and thus getting more done.

AMD is falling far behind, buy an Intel processor.
