Dual Core CPUs

[DanCF]

Has anyone had any experimentation with Dual Core CPUs. I was looking at renting a couple of Dual Xeon machines when I saw that this company also offered Dual Core Dual Xeon machines. Theoretically the dual cores have double the CPU resources, but I am skeptical. Has anyone used these and could share the load these new setups can handle in comparison to the traditional single cores?

I use Dual Xeons on all my machines, never seen a Dual Xeons with Dual Core though,

I have not experimented with dual core dual processor. But I have played with dual core and with dual processor. In my opinion dual core is only about 80% or so as effective as dual processor. So if you are looking at the dual core dual xeon machines thinking you'll get about the equivalent of a quad xeon server I think you'll be dissapointed. probably closer to 3 xeon processors in one machine, just a tad better though.
