CPU and core frequency?

Question

Iron

There is one moment in my head that was once heard and not understood. There is an x ​​processor with a frequency of, for example, 1.5 and 4 cores. Does this mean that if all 4 cores work, then the total frequency will be 6? Or will these 1.5s just be distributed over 4 cores to solve different problems? (I'm a teapot, don't throw slippers).

Answer 1

Changed your question a bit:
The answer is this. There are tasks that cannot be executed simultaneously (single-threaded) for these tasks there will be a performance of 1.5. There are tasks that perform well in parallel, for which the performance will be close to 6. Well, up to 4 different tasks can work simultaneously without noticeable performance degradation in single-threaded mode.
