I think its 5.6 together. As in one core at like 3 each and there just being retarded about it.
but if there were 100 cores, they would all still be running at 2.6........
it would just be 100 core's each at 2.6 GHz ....making 2.6GHz x100, not 2600GHz
I've noticed loads of those auctions on ebay :(
6ghz core2duo etc.
They must be dumb enough to add the 2 cores together. Bit of false advertising, but I bet there are some people on ebay dumb enough to think they are getting a 6ghz cpu lol
also look at this one I was watching today:
