Comment Re:Makes more sense than per chip or per core (Score 1) 425
my "single core" desktop computer actually contains at least two significant processors, the CPU and the graphics card (which may very well have more processing power than the CPU)
Interesting, though the debate here seems to be over cores, which Oracle's Jacqueline Woods defines (for the context of this debate) as saying "A core is equal to a CPU".
So, Yes, a graphics card has a processor. Yes, the grahics card has a core. But the processor on a graphics card is a GPU, not a CPU. Hence, GPU (and for that matter co-processor) count does not apply. quod erat demonstrandum
