I know that PCSX2 doesn't support four cores, but I still have a question regarding performance. I don't know much about how a CPU works. I'm using a 2.93GHz quad core. Does that mean that it's running four 2.93GHz cores, or that 2.93GHz is split between four cores? If it's the former, I'd assume that my 2.93GHz quad would still run better on PCSX2 than my old 2.43GHz dual.
Help is appreciated.

It means each core runs at 2.93ghz, and would perform almost identical to a dual core at the same speed in regards to pcsx2.
Edit: So yes it would perform better than your old one.

Unless you're going from Intel to AMD... Generally AMD CPUs have higher clock speeds but don't perform better. The more you know

Still an amd quad at 2.93ghz would beat an intel dual at 2.43ghz.

In software mode it uses all cores, but than youre stuck with native resolution, and nobody wants to play in native
