So I've always wondered about dual core processors. If you get an intel core 2 duo cpu, 2.5Ghz, does that mean you get twice the clock speed, so you're getting 5Ghz clock speed?

Jump to Postdepends if the app takes advantage if it. E,g apps which were made before Core Duo will only see one crummy 2.5ghz cpu but if there are designed to take advantage if it then there is huge increase in performance compared to a standard cpu
Jump to PostNo, you have two independent processors at the same clock speed.
