Compute / Processing Requirement

[jeefakharjee]

For one specific product installation, I have sent following processing/compute requirement to our client, technically is it a correct statement (actually we need 12 cores in total):

Dual Core Processor (6 CPUs x 2 cores per CPU = 12 total cores)

Thanks for your help.

If that's a software which runs with some PCs running in cluster or cooperating somehow maybe that's correct, but 6 dual core CPUs? That seems incorrect. Probably you need 12 threads or virtual cores, which can be done easily nowadays even with a single and consumer grade CPU, but there aren't motherboards with 6 sockets for 6 CPUs, server/main computer motherboards usually allow up to 2CPUs and some very unusual ones can allow up to 4 CPUs, but anyway 2 cores CPUs are old CPUs.

What you probably need for that software is a single CPU with 6 cores and 2 threads per core.
