Only if it was made out of Graphene and had 8 threads.

Yeah, don't you get more PCIe lanes that way? Though good luck running Windows on it. Windows Pro is licensed to 2 CPUs and to get more, you need a server license.
Memory is irrelevant. it all comes down to CPU speed and IPC.

NO VM can play skyrim without pass through graphics
I'm talking about physical hardware. You realise that right? NO VM's in this sorta thing.
I have a single core machine with 8g of ram right beside me...Its got windows 10 on it atm ....It works fine...It doesn't even have a gfx card .

I was going to make it a NAS
One time, I disabled my 4790k down to a single core, with no HT, at 2.2ghz. Why? I wanted to see how well it did against my old 2.17ghz Athlon XP 2700+. After the test, I forgot to change it back. I didn't notice it until a week later when I was trying to game.
An Abrams tanks has a single cylinder (turbine to be exact), but a Ford Fiesta has three cylinders (four, if you're a dare devil). So obviously the Ford Fiesta is better. I rest my case

I would totally take a single core machine if that single core could run at like 12 - 15+ GHz

looks at OP
looks at dual Xeon E5-2670 machine
Fires up Cinebench
sees result
looks back at OP
Hell no.

I see posts like that and I keep thinking around the way big endian chips work. Past 2.5 GHz is pointless. At least little endian CISC boxes can use all that speed. Its all IPC on RISC :P
I have another answer tomy thread. If I could have a sparc or risc box that I had absolute control over I don't think I would care about cores.
