OT Dual core CPUs versus faster single core CPUs?


Not trying to decide which is better for everybody. Just interested
in the difference between multiple core CPUs and faster single core
CPUs.

Are there any mainstream applications that would benefit from one
and the other?

My wild guess. Continuous multitasking versus intermittent bursts
(if the bursts usually do not coincide). But I don't know of any
applications to example that.

Thanks.
