SolDios Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I'm really stumped about getting an 8350. I generally do multi-task and run alot of applications at once. But my main question is this.If I have 2 applications open that only use 4 cores each, will they be split between the cores or pile up on each other and hinder there performance overall?

ThatPartyGuy Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 majority of software doesn't exactly utilize multiple core's.your processor and OS can split the load but yeah, coding is still mostly stuck in single core. saying that, not all software is the same and some applications do have multi core support. one way i like to insure a decent speed with multiple programs is to set the affinity of a program that is hogging my resources (Adobe shit mainly) and deselect the first core (core 0). that usually free's up processing power for the basic stuff to run a bit better.in summary, technically it will be split between cores.
