Title: Can Corona works perfectly in dual processor i7 5960x rig?
Post by: tonycho on 2016-01-25, 18:46:55

Hi guys
I am new in Corona and want to invest more in it :)
just want to ask,
Can Corona works perfectly in dual processor i7 5960x rig?
is it twice faster than single processor i7 5960x rig?
I saw in some discussion the i7 5960x is the best value for money and performance

I also saw some discussion in forum about corona limited cores is 64
but I need more info and input :)

Thank you guys

Only one of this goes into a rig: http://ark.intel.com/products/82930/Intel-Core-i7-5960X-Processor-Extreme-Edition-20M-Cache-up-to-3_50-GHz (http://ark.intel.com/products/82930/Intel-Core-i7-5960X-Processor-Extreme-Edition-20M-Cache-up-to-3_50-GHz)
From Intel, only Xeon family (server processors) are made for multi CPU rigs.

Look at: Package Specifications > Max CPU Configuration
