How does a single core computer processor works?

Answer 1

From what I know, the Dual core processor works by have two compact processor cores or brains, set together, side by side, and they both have individual caches. All of the computers processes are routed through one or both of the processor cores. this allows for faster processing. * Just as an addition, the Intel Core 2 Extreme (which is intels quad core processor) is not the most advanced processor out there. The most advanced is the Azul Vega 2 Processor which has 48 cores in one processor.

The Core 2 Duo processor line ranges from the 1.86-GHz E6300 chip ($183) with 2MB of cache to the 2.93-GHz Core 2 Extreme X6800 chip ($999) with 4MB of cache; all have a 1066-MHz system bus. (Intel leaves the "Duo" designation off of its X6800 CPU.) Though Core 2 Duo chips use the same Socket 775 interface as current Pentium 4 and Pentium D chips, they require new chip sets, so you'll have to get a new motherboard--you can't just pop a Core 2 Duo chip into your existing Intel-based PC and reap the tremendous performance gains. The Core 2 Duo reference systems we tested used a motherboard with Intel's 975X Express chip set (boards using the P965 Express chip set will also be available); nVidia and ATI have their own Core 2 Duo boards as well. I personally have a core 2 an E6600 (stock 2.4ghz) but I put a better heat sink on mine an overclocked it to 3.33 . !! wow is it fast , Now the price on the quad cores q6600 are just slightly above the duals . what makes these attractive is 1 core regular computer, 2 or dual cores is like having the processing power of TWO computers in one box and the power consumption is way lower than two computers , then go to Quad cores WOW these things jam!!!! do a virus scan while downloading music while Surfing and they don't even break a sweat

Answer 5

The dual core processor differs from a single core in that the single core processor must take the incoming data bits one at a time, process that bit of data and move on the next one. A dual core process detects incoming data streams and determines whether they could be calculated more quickly if both cores were working. If that's the case, the dual-core processor will split the data and crunch the numbers at the same time, effectively doubling the processor's speed. While of limited use for applications that aren't "processor intensive" they really shine when working with high level calculations or even computer games. When new data is loaded into the cache, it is pulled from the hard drive. Because the CPU can typically process data faster than the storage media it's pulling from, performance suffers. In a dual-core processor, the data is pulled by each processor when needed. A dual-core processor The data streams are processed at the same time, and once the data is calculated, the processors mesh the data back into a single usable stream. This isn't to be confused with a multi-processor system, in which all processors reside on the same chip. The multi-processor system, because of the way the data is split and reintegrated, can be significantly faster than a dual-core setup.
