At work, one of the test machines I work on uses two socket 2011 (6 core E5 2630L) processors. Which sounds great except each core is only 2GHz, so single threaded applications run slow.
Why are there even 6 core processors that only run at 2GHz? It would be badly beat by a humble 3GHz quad core in single threaded applications. In multi threaded applications, it would merely match the much cheaper 3GHz quad core.
