dual core or dual chip?

Alot of people wonder what is better dual core or dual chip. The answer isnt a simple one.. If you are going with intel, dual chips are actually better, as they use the bus to communicate between cores. However if you are using AMD it has been shown the performance is about the same because the cores can communicate directly.

now I know most people are going into 6+ core processors these days, however.. keep in mind, AMD makes as good or better chips for less.. not that the I7 and any thing to be messed with. I have seen a setup with 2 I7 cores, thats some crazy power, then there is the 50 core processor that intel tested, their conclusion, anything over 16 cores is impractical.. so the best possible setup you could have is 2 16 core, 32 cores.. good luck getting your hands on that (as far as I know its not available yet..give it a week or so )
