Re: Quad Core CPU

Law of diminishing returns when it comes to Mame and multi cores though isn't it..?

I mean, the speed increase from 2 to 4 cores isn't anything like 100%.

From my testing with a Phenom II @4Ghz, that can run with 2,3 or 4 cores turned on/off, your only looking at very small improvements once you go past 3 cores.

3 cores gives a 25% or so improvement over 2, but 4 cores is only about 5-10% faster than 3...every bit helps I suppose, but don't expect HUGE speed-ups.

This was based on running Ridge Racer BTW, I don't know if other games give better results.
