Clockspeed

[ncrkel]

I prefer a dual core cpu with higher clock than a four quad with lower clock, beacuse many softwares cant handle more than one core!

More Cores is better than clock speed. I prefer a Processor with 4 core @ 2.4GHz than a Processor with 2 core @ 3.2GHz

Overclocking FTW

COMPLETELY NOT THE CASE! Intel's been bullshitting this 'concept' to us for years! It does have some effect on performance, but try to compare a 2.0GHz AMD K10 to a 2.0GHz P4. Guess who wins?

@curriegrad2004

Actually the basic statement is true. He should have talked about efficiency per clock but he might have been comparing CPU's in the same generation.

Also, the example he used didn't have a big difference in clock speed. Noticeable but not huge.

I think that this was made after the Core 2 Duo came out, and a little clock speed went a long way in performance.

what about video editing?
