There are then limits on core counts between 32 & 64 bit versions (with up to 256 virtual cores supported on the latter), but again, no mention of 'Home' vs 'Pro' limits. All the top Google hits spout out a standard blurb from the Microsoft forums about which state that 'Windows 10' (doesn't mention the version) supports up to 2 physical CPUs. Yes, I think you're right, however I have to say shame on MS for not making this clearer.

Would have to be Windows 10 Pro or higher to make use of 2 sockets, or Windows Server A pair of those would start to get you in the right territory. Newegg has dual socket motherboards starting around $300, and there's a 12 Core 2.2Ghz CPU for ~$1200. To actually get 3-4 times your CPU speed you'd need to look at a dual CPU system, you're talking $3K + probably. Something like a Xeon E5-2697 v4 more than $3K for CPU alone) gives you 18 cores at 2.3Ghz, ~41Ghz, or 2.5 times your current CPU. but the rough maths does work out).Ī 6900X which is ~$1K and requires an X99 motherboard gives you 8 cores at 3.2Ghz, so let's say ~26Ghz, or less than double your current CPU. So you quad core 4Ghz is giving you *sort of* 16Ghz (it doesn't work like that. If you are, this is one of those very rare cases where you can roughly multiply frequency by cores (it doesn't quite work that way, but it's close enough for these purposes). you're in serious $$ territory.īefore spending money you need to be 100% sure that you are in fact CPU bound.

Yep, if you really are CPU bound AND you really need at least 3 times the performance of a 6700K.
