title: Mutli-core Processors: Does each "core" run at the full clock speed or some fraction of the full clock frequency?
body: <p>Let's say you have a single (1) Intel/AMD x86-64 bit 2 GHz 8 core processor.</p>
  
  <p>Does each of the 8 cores all run at the full 2 GHz or, does each core run at some fraction of the full 2 GHz clock (e.g. 250 MHz)?</p>
