Intel makes several 4 core processors.
The Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GHz processor is a single core processor, but if you'd like to upgrade to dual core, have a look at the Intel Pentium 4 531 3.0GHz Processor Upgrade RH008AV.
For Intel chips this will be almost any Core I5 and I7(with the ones ending with 3 numbers and X being Hexacores, the rest are just Quad cores), for AMD that would be the Chips with "X3 (3 physical cores)/X4(4 cores)/X6(6 cores) in the name.
the 520M processor inside the 8440p is an Intel i5 520M with 2 cores and 4 threads so your answer is 2 processors
Of course Core i7 860. It's 4-cores, 8-threads processor while Core 2 Duo is only 2-cores, 2-threads. Moreover i7 860 got 8mb of Intel smart cache memory.
Intel Quad Core is one of the newer technologies developed by Intel for their consumer level Core 2 Quad and higher end Xeon processors. Basically, a quad core processor incorporates four processors onto one chip. In theory, you could see a massive improvement in performance from a quad core system but in reality, most programs, (and operating systems for that matter) do not yet support full utilization of all four cores.
The specifications of the Intel Core 2 Duo processors are Intel dual-core technology, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep, Execute Disable Bit, and Intel 64 architecture. Intel Core 2 Extreme processors are similar but have Intel Virtualization Technology in place of dual-core technology.
A standard processor had one core like in P1, P2, P3, P4. It means it can performed only one task at a time. Now to make computer able to perform multiple tasks simultaneously it is being manufactured with multiple processors. A Dual-core processor has two cores. A Quad-core processor has four cores. An i3 processor has 2 cores. An i5 processor has 2 or 4 cores (depending on the model you have.) An i7 processor has 2, 4 or 6 cores (depending on the model you have.)
Yes.
to emphasize that it was a 4 bit processor
In the intel range there are a few different models that have four cores. The older CPU is the 'core 2 quad' and the newer ones are core i5 and core i7. Core i7 even can have 6 cores.
in the processor it self it should say the make and model. like Intel Pentium 4 or AMD 64.
Core, as in the cores in a computer processor? They don't help in processing, they ARE the processing. Cores can refer to different things if you take the definitions from different vendors (AMD and Intel consider the cores of their processors to be two different things). For simplicity sake, we'll go with integer cores. These handle the floating point calculations, memory reservations, and data flow required to make a computer...compute More cores can mean more processing. There are limitations to anything though, and most programs typically aren't designed to handle more than four threads at once. Again, for simplicity, lets consider a thread a line of instructions sent to a single core. 4 threads = 4 cores. (Intel can have up to 12 threads on their six-core processor via HT technology) Having more cores typically lowers the performance-per-core and power efficiency of a processor, meaning that any program that uses fewer threads will run poorly on a multi-core processor.
