Technology of Processor – Single Core and Dual Core


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 →
