Multi chips means better multi tasking. a single game feeds on 1 chip for reaction speeds etc(gpu is there only for visuals). You can have the best GPU out there but your best picture will lag like shit if your CPU is not up to standard :sdo:
* only 1 core is at use for any application at any time. Meaning having octa core chip with each single chip being low on speed (useless) that will suck a lot playing a demanding game. Yet a dual core with beastly power on each core will give you the best games but suck at multi tasking because instead of physically distributing work in different cores it is switching in and out of different applications.
It my years of coding, I've never seen a non operating system app/game running on multiple chips :|Yeah, well, you see, the thing is that it all depends on how the video game/application was designed to use the hardware and/or how people setup their rig to handle the data. You can't be generalizing when it comes to technology. Certain software only use a single core while others function better the more cores it has to work with. Some programs will raise your CPU to 100% (these figures are all dependent CPU model, of course) while using all cores whereas some won't even reach 10% while using a single core. It all... depends.![]()

Dual-socket motherboard with two Xeon chips... but anyways I was talking about CPU cores on my post and not actual individual chips. :|
