Obviously he didn't use this concept to make the question but yes I guess that's what he's asking. I'm pretty sure because I still remember getting flamed by Xtreme2damax long ago after asking this in a very similar way Or was it you NV? lols Anyways, I'm pretty sure that's what he wants to know, and as I said before, OP, the answer is no.

Quote:yep Your statement is a little confusing. What exactly are you referring to? Technically both intel and AMD cpu cores process multiple instructions in parallel (and out of order) from the same thread. If you want to use the technical definition of core, rather than referring to function units than AMD already does this at the core level. In fact that's the whole ideal behind bulldozers "revolutionary" CMT technology. An 8 core bulldozer cpu contains 4 modules, each of which contains 2 cores. Each module can have zero, one, or two threads running on it at once. If one thread is running on it both cores execute instructions from the same thread in parallel. Unfortunately the execution pipelines are so narrow/long that even with two cores processing the same thread in parallel a single sandy bridge core will still beat it in IPC.
