AMD Phenom X3 8750 Triple-Core
 

From the very beginning of computer epoch, opinion was that
parallelization and everything connected to computers needs to be scaled to
the second power, although it doesn't matter if you have 1, 2 or even 73
cores. In any case, everything will work properly, unless we are talking
about some old version of synthetic benchmark programs that doesn't
recognize processor with odd number of processors. If one worker will do the
job for 24h, two will do for 12h and for three workers you can guess by
yourself. This analogy goes for multi-thread software which can recognize
multi-core processors.
