Thread Subject: Matlab support for double core cpus

Does the Matlab support the Pentium 4 D processors?
For faster computing with matlab, should i buy P4 #670 3.8GHz or P4D
#840 3.2GHz

Matlab is single threaded. It will therefore run faster on the single
core 3.8 GHz cpu.

Why not buy an AMD? They beat the Intel dual core in nearly every
benchmark, including Matlab.

That being said, the only advantage you'll have running Matlab on a dual
core is that the other CPU will be available for you to run other stuff
while Matlab is running.

Unless you want to get into C and multithreaded MEX functions, MPI
multiprocessing, or a Fortran compiler with openMP support.

what should I do to optimize my dual-core system
(I use windows and AMD)

multithreaded MEX functions, MPI...?

in this:

testsystem for a dual-core they used the
 Intel Math Kernel Library
 or BLAS
