Malak, in short no. Dual proccessors can't take advantage of it all the same way SLI does, you can't realiably split instuctions in 2 and hope for them to come out at the exact same time on the other side of the processors.

No I mean if the same rig had both SLI and dual core procs. One core working with one video card. Possible potential for more power?

Sony is working on a 4.something ghz CPU for the PS3. They say they have it running in labs.

This wouldn't really work, because games don't work so that the CPU prepares an image and then the graphics card renders it. What really ends up happening is that the graphics card does almost all of the graphics related work, while the cpu has to do the phisics, AI, etc.
Also, this would only work on games designed for a dual core/dual proc computer, in other words they have to be multi-threaded. Current games are single-threaded, meaning that they have one continual line of instructions for the CPU to process and each instruction has to be processed before the one after it, so you couldn't send all the odd instructions to one core and all the evens to another.... but it would be nice if you could .

People should not underestimate intel. They had 4.5ghz like 3 years ago and I even remember an article with pictures from one of the computer shows with a 10ghz processor.
There it is right there IMO, the OEMs were doubtless not very excited about having to pony up for the necessary cooler and PSU they'd have to use with a Presscot 4ghz system, or how difficult it would be to keep it semi-quiet in the process.Originally posted by: Zebo

The 3.8 Prescotts are getting to 4.2 on air, so they weren't all that far away.
They certainly could have released a 4Ghz Prescott, but I am glad they decided to redirect their efforts elsewhere.
On what kind of air? $40 4kg copper HSF? 5000rpm 92mm screamers?
How much power?170W?
How much lost CPU cyles due to thermal throttle?
Face it, a Dothan derivative is intels future. Not these loud, expensive to cool, expensive to power hawgs. I'll be buying some kind of dothan the day they come out with DDR, 800+FSB for my silent game box. Even AMD will look like smokers then.

Zebo, it was the stock fan in the review. They had it to 4.3 but it was not totally stable.
From firing squad's review:
"Using the D925XECV2 motherboard and its latest BIOS, which fixes a problem with Intel?s burn-in mode, the 3.8GHz Pentium 4 scaled up to 4.3GHz ? the highest setting available ? without crashing. It didn?t prove to be as reliable in games, so we dropped it to 4.2GHz, where the platform worked without issue."
Face it, Prescott was never as hot as it's rep, and the newer steppings are no worse than Northwoods.

That sony chip sounds pretty sweet, the problems that I see on first view (I haven't done any research yet) are x86 support (eg. would it be like Intel's Itanium2 that has completely different instructions so it can only run certain very uncommon software) and sony's production capacity. I doubt sony has processor fab capacity anywhere near either intel or even amd (anyone know?) so it probably couldn't sell the chip to PC consumers as well as ps3 consumers.
It would be cool though, I gotta do more research on it.

I was at Computer Wizards and I was talking to the owner and a bunch of technicians,
and they said that Intel isnt even going to release a 4.0ghz CPU at all, and that they are
skipping straight to 5.0ghz . Anyone hear anything else about it?? is it going to be 128 bit??
