Interview with Intel
@ 2005/01/19"If the application is not threaded, it will not see benefits from Dual
Core. However, if the OS is threaded and it's running two non-threaded
applications, we'll see some improvements as compared to a single core
design. Say you have a virus scanner running and you open a 20MB
PowerPoint presentation, a dual core CPU will do so much more
efficiently."
