As we all know, the processor (CPU or Central Processing Unit) is the brain of the computer and this is where all the calculations take place.

The technology of processor comprises mainly of the differences between single core and dual core processors.

Single core processor has only one chip that processes all the instructions and calculations.  If a single core processor is in a multi-tasking situation, the processor switches back and forth to process each set of instructions or programs.  With this, the processor resources are all consumed and its performance suffers.

Dual core processor is two separate computer chips combined in one single chip.  Each core chip handles data strings simultaneously to improve efficiency. Read the rest of this entry →

The processor or the CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the brain and the most important chip in the computer.  CPU is where all the calculations take place.

Choosing which processor is better for your computer depends on your computer needs.  Today, Intel and AMD are the two companies on the market that produce processors.

There are options you can consider when choosing a right computer processor:

• Do I need a single or dual processor?

The single processor has only one chip that processes all the calculations and instructions while the dual processor has two chips that work together to do all the tasks.

Some people buy dual processor thinking that it can make their computer faster.   The dual processor is best suited for graphic design, digital photography and video editing.

Unless the application you are using requires much of the system resources, you may opt to buy a dual processor.  But some applications can still run faster at a single processor. Read the rest of this entry →

Processor is considered to be the most important part of a computer. This is the logic machine which executes computer programs.

Processor is the brain of the computer and the technical name of processor is central processing unit, abbreviated as CPU.

Processor is in fact the most common name in which CPU is known. It is inside the processor that all calculations required for the processing of computer programs take place.

Processors itself have two essential parts known as the ALU and the control unit. The ALU performs all arithmetic as well as logic operations while CU executes the instructions coming from the memory. Read the rest of this entry →
