 Quad core Processor Question?
No.
You've 4 cores EACH working at 2.66ghz. To make it easier to understand think of each core running in parallel rather than the core's running in serial.
If you've an application capable of making use of 4 cores, then instruction sets would be simultaneously spread across each core, 'worked out' and then moved to whichever component required that set.
You wouldn't get all 4 cores working on one set.
Thats the whole idea behind multiple cores.
