Single Core vs Multi Core - Which is more important? A CPU primer.

#CPU #Intel #AMD
Is it better to go for a processor with screaming single core performance, or will you get more performance from having more cores?

Navigating the CPU market minefield can be tricky, especially if you don't know your hyper-threading from your cache RAM... but hopefully this CPU primer will help you understand some of the concepts and make a sensible choice.

Either that, or you will fall asleep. Sleep can be good, no?
