The "dual core" solution (even for AMD or INTEL) is a good solution
when the server that run asterisk need more cpu to do something.

There is no need to configure, you add the CPU and the kernel (if SMP)
does the rest.

Only if you want to "bound" a single CPU to a single "interrupt" you
can change the "affinity" of the CPU.

Or

If you use irqbalance this "affinity change" is done by the irqbalance
daemon.

In a real context (with asterisk) is better to NOT use irqbalance and
set affinity for each voip board/irq on the system.

Bye.
