Dose any one know if each core runs at 2.0ghz or if each core is 1.0 ghz?

If each core is 1.0ghz it seems like its gona be slower for most applications.

Each core runs a solid 2.0Ghz, and is plenty fast for running applications.

Each core is 2.0 by default. I have one and with a smp kernel and 64 bit Linux it flys like you can't imagine. Linux does great with multi-core.

Thanks for confirming newegg simply lists them as 2.0ghz.

Thats fine, still a nice chip.

Shines in a 64 bit OS though.
