How are benchmarks for multiple cores calculated?
- by B Seven
I found this site to compare CPU's. http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html
What wasn't clear is how the benchmark for multiple core processors is calculated. If one CPU has 4 cores (such as Intel Core i7 which comes in 2, 4, and 6 core versions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core_i7#Core_i7), does that mean that the benchmark should be double that of the version that has 2 cores (assuming the same clock frequency)?
