Alienware 2 processors
Author: admin20 Feb
Another Alienware question.
Does every alienware have 2 processors? The most processor on an alienware from the site is 2.33 GHz.
So if it has 2 1.66 GHz processors, it equals to 3.52 GHz?
I guess you’re talking about a dual core. I know that’s newt true because alienware is an offers quad core processors in their PC too. The Intel Core 2 duo is actually a quad core. it is two dual core processors essentially “glued” both together so that it amounts to 4. to answer your question about the speed, that is true, only if the software you are using supports dual or quad core processing. you need to double check on the applications you will be using most to be sure that you do not want a really fast 3Ghz single core or such instead of something like a 2.0Ghz dual core/quad core.
Ya but for the most part though today’s software do at least support dual core.

Nope is it good?
I assume youre talking about dual core. and I know thats false because alienware offers quad core processors in their computers too. The intel core 2 duo is actuallq a quad core. it is 2 dual core processors essentially “glued” together so that it amounts to four. and to answer your question about the speed, yes, that is true, but only if the program you are using supports dual or quad core processing. you need to check on the applications you will be using most to be sure that you do not want a really fast 3.0Ghz single core or such instead of something like a 2Ghz dual core/quad core.
For the most part though todays applications do at least support dual core.
Watch this video that explains how a dual-core processor works.
2 1.66 GHz processors do not equal 3.52GHz.
I believe all Alienware sells are dual-core processors now.
I have heard nothing but good about them, cnet gave rave reviews about them
Only Multi-Threaded Applications can use two processors at once (there are not that many of them).
Having dual processors means that you could (with the exception of multi-threaded apps) run two applications at once, one using one processor, the other using the other.
On normal applications the processors cannot combine power. So it would only add together if you had only multi-threaded applications. Which is basically impossible.
No, Not every Alienware has two processors.
In intel, only the processors marked Core 2 Duo, has dual processors similarly is the case with Amd.
The fastest processor on the alienware site is not 2.33, it’s alot more than that, click on configuration (or customize) option of the laptop or desktop you are viewing, and then you can see the range of processors it has.
That would depend on your system configuration. so the answer varies, if two 1.66ghz run equal to a single 3.32ghz. it would depend how well it is tweaked and optimized according to the configuration.
two 1.66 Ghz processors do not equal to 3.52, but they equal to 3.32 ghz.
. but like i said, running them equal to 3.32ghz is another story, depending on your config.
