Hi all,
just a general question - I'm interested in getting a motherboard that
supports 4 of the new AMD Quad Core CPUs. That would be effectively 16
CPUs. My question is, with the 2.6.18-5-686 kernel from etch, will the
SMP kernel work with all 16 cores? What is actually the current limit of
cores (CPUs) that the 2.6.18 (or newer) kernel will support?
Thanks much,
Robert
don't expect things to go 16x faster
Ok, but 16x better? Or 16x more efficient? I know that if we're
talking about a 2GHz quad core CPU we're not getting 8GHz of speed, but
what exactly is the (performance) advantage of SMP?
