I bought an 8 core computer a year ago. I thought it would bring the best performance ever in the computer industry. And it did! With an SSD hard drive the computer loads in less than 10 seconds after the BIOS and all applications run super fast.
There's only one problem. Most individual applications use just one core to process their information. If you have an AMD 8 core, only one core will be used. This si a great disadvantage. Sure that all Windows applications will run faster than with a CPU with less cores, but applications individually will run slower.
The new AMD 16 core CPU will bring more cores but if the individual processing speed of each core is not better than what is to day, then it does not matter how many cores you get because your work will not see more performance from the CPU.
The AMD 8 Core 8320 CPU has more than 8000 benchmark points. Looks incredible. What you probably don't know is that a medium priced Intel i3 CPU with just 4000 CPU points will process tasks that use just one core up to 3x faster!
Right now if you and true performance nothing beats Intel. AMD still has a long way to go before they build a CPU that can take advantage of applications that still use just one core to process.
