Hello
this might sound a bit silly but I am a total PC n00b...
As some of you may of read over the last 2 week I am looking for a very powerful laptop that can handle top end design packages such as Adobe Photoshop & Adobe Premiere etc...
The laptop spec I was working on would have:
Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-4810MQ (2.80GHz) 6MB
16GB KINGSTON SODIMM DDR3 1600MHz (2 x 8GB)
So for example if I made a video within premiere and wanted to render it/finalize it and i clicked on "go" would the processor if needed to use the 4 cores... would do so?
I only ask because last year in PC-World I heard a "tech guy" say to a customer that the pc he was showing him would need to be setup so that all 4 cores would work and be able to be used if n when needed.
So all I would like to know is... if you get a quad core processor... would all 4 cores work... if and when needed? and no other setup/options would need to be edited so that it goes from 2 to 4?
Like I said I know it sounds silly but I didnt see the point of getting a quad core if its only setup so 2 cores are used and to get the other 2 to work you need to "turn them on" in some kind of settings etc
Thank you for your time
P.S - Sorry if this is in the wrong section
