Dual core question

[MageXX9]

Do the threads executing in each core have to come from the same process, or can they come from different processes?

It doesn't matter what process they come from ... if there are multiple threads that need to be executed, the work will be split between the two cores.

You could hav emany scenarios...

1) you could have one app that is highly optimised that will you 100% of both cores...

2) you could have 2 single threaded appps that each peg one core fully...

3) you could have any combination of multiple apps adding up to use both cores....


Basic fact is you have 2 cpus under 1 hood..bottom line....whether you feed them the threads from one app or multiple app no single core will compete overall when you fully load them...
