It really depends on how you use it. If you are just running Microsoft Office, it makes little difference in performance. I edit video and graphics for a living and having a Multicore processor is vital. It really speeds up the whole process. For instance on my old computer it took about 15 minutes for a 1 gigabyte Photoshop file to open. I have since upgraded hardware and software. It now takes about 45 seconds to open.
Having a 64-bit operating system that takes advantage of Photoshop's processing power is also a huge plus.

What else can I help you with?
Why do you need multi core processors?
Multicore processors are needed to run the applications which need a higher processing speed.this is mostly used in computers as the programs running there need a greater speed.
Does Photoshop support multicore processors?
Indeed it does. See http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2006/12/photoshop_and_multicore.html for some further information.
Each core in a multicore processor counts toward the maximum number of processors that Windows Server 2008 supports true or false?
False
How well can a nvidia GEforce 9500 work on a 500 watt power supply?
It depends on what else you have in the machine drawing power. Multicore processors, for instance, will use more juice than a single core, etc.
When was Multicore Association created?
Multicore Association was created in 2005.
Is a dual processor CPU better?
Whether or not you get any benefit from a dual core processor over a single core processor depends on what operating system and what programs you are running. Newer operating systems (Windows 7, Mac OSX) do use multicore processors. Also, using multiple programs on a computer will better utilize a multicore processor. In short, yes it can make a difference for today's average user.
What is the highest number of CPU cores that Microsoft Flight Simulator X will use?
Sadly Flight Sim does not recognise multicore processors and relies on juts the one so you may not see any improvement in its operation unless you increase speed of processor and ram
What is the concept of processor affinity?
In a multicore or multi-CPU system, processor affinity refers to what cores or CPUs a given process can run on. The application can be forced to prefer some cores or processors over others.
Is Performance of single processors better than multi processors?
Depends on the OS runnning and also the type of applications to be run on the system. I think on lighter processor loading, the single processor will perform better than a multicore due to the management software required for multi cores. However, when the processor load is increased, which by the way has always been the case in the past, then the multi core is in a class of it's own. This is of course assuming that the software was written correctly to utilise multicore bandwidth effectively. JPT
Do all processors use the same type of register?
No, not all processors use the same type of register. Different processors may have different types of registers depending on their design and architecture.
What is the maximum processing speed of a personal computer?
That increases every few months, so I cannot give you a number. Also multicore processors complicate the issue because of parallelism. +++ It should be stated in the technical specification for the particular computer, issued by its manufacturer.
How can I utilize the ffmpeg multicore feature to improve the processing speed of my video encoding tasks?
You can use the ffmpeg multicore feature to split the video encoding task into smaller parts and process them simultaneously on multiple CPU cores, which can significantly speed up the encoding process.
