Has anyone found that Nero 7 uses a dual core cpu
better then version 6.6?

Trying to decide if it is worth while to upgrade to Nero 7.

thanks,
jmc

Nero 7 is dual-core aware (assuming you mean AMD and not the Intel
dual-core wanna-be). If you have an AMD X2 processor, it is worth
it. If you have an Intel Core-Duo, don't bother as Nero 7 will run
slower on the Duo because of the data contention of two cores using
one slovenly FSB. Bobby

So can we assume that Nero has not been fully reworked yet?

I have been using Nero since I can't remember when. I use it on old
P4 2.4G before HT and still have it on that machine. I did my first
burn on a newer P4 3G dual core HT machine both with Nero 6. Both
DVDs work fine. Both were burned at the same speed and took the same
time to burn. Without being aware of anything that could have worked
better on the newer machine I am happy.

I am really curious about anything I might learn that I am not aware
of. I use Intel CPUs and also have been happy unless someone can
tell me how I might be more happy if I had gone with AMD. Does a
burner burning at Max somehow work faster on an AMD than an Intel?





AMD X2 and Intel Core Duo are *significantly* different from each
other. AMD X2 are built as true dual core; the two processors are
directly connected to each other and can communicate with each other
and the L2 cache and System RAM at processor frequency. Intel fuses
two separate single core processors together (hence the misleading
Core Duo). The two cores cannot see or communicate with each other
directly. When core ) wished to query core 1, it has to go all the
way out through the Northbridge chip, taking many clock cycles to do
so. When the information requested makes it back to core 0, core 1
has moved on and now core 0 does not have accurate information on
what core 1 is doing. Not a very efficient way to do business, and
why Core Duo are so dog slow.
AMD has on die memory controller; Intel does not.

AMD has Hypertransport to control data flow and allow Out Of Order
data execution; Intel does not.

AMD has Direct Connect Architecture; Intel does not.

Intel has insane amounts of advertising dollars to spend making you
think you have something good, when in fact you are buying 8 year old
technology with a brand spanking new sticker on the case that makes
you think the "Intel Inside" is new.

Why do you think AMD has made such phenomenal growth in the market? Why
do you think Microsoft uses only AMD processors in it's campuses
that are developing Windows (current and future versions)?

AMD is clearly a superior technology, in every measurable aspect.


And this all makes the burning process faster or somehow makes a better
DVD or are from the gaming camp that thinks all this makes a better chip
because you get higher scores?




I do not game. AMD simply makes a better chip; and when tested and compared
to Intel using real world tests as opposed to the synthetic benchmarks that
Intel is so fond of, the numbers speak for themselves. In short, yes AMD is
better for rendering.
