A CPU's performance usually is determined by its clock speed (separated into two values: a multiplier, and a base clock), number of cores, and what most average people don't take into account, is instructions per clock cycle.
A base clock is the base unit of speed that the clock runs at. Typically it's at 100MHz. This value is multiplied by the multiplier to get the total clock speed (A CPU running at a clock speed of 3.4GHz will have a multiplier of 34 [34*100 = 3400MHz = 3.4GHz])

What is AMD x2?
AMDs 'dual core' CPUs, those that contain 2 CPU cores, as opposed to the 1 CPU core found in earlier AMD (and intel, VIA, cyrix etc) CPUs. Dual core CPUs have much better multitasking performance than traditional single core CPUs.
What 2 ways is the computer's speed measured?
microprocessor and motherboard
What are three ways in which the level of health and welfare are measured in a country?
2
Is it possible to link Ds Emu with 2 CPUs?
yes
How would a stove be measured?
More information is needed to answer this question. Here are three ways a stove can be measured: 1. By weight. 2. By BTU. 3. By dimension.
A measured performance that adheres consistently to the duple meter would be read as?
D. 1-2-3-4It's on page 26 in the book.
Why you use core word with recent microprocessor?
Cores are basically the amount of CPUs packed into one CPU. So say, the dual-core (2 core) CPUs have the power of 2 cpu's packed into one unit. Originally, they just had the single-core CPUs, but recently, they've created the dual-core, tri-core, quad-core, and six-core CPUs. Hope this helps! SeanHolshouser
What is 8 way processor?
1-way = You can only use 1 CPU on the motherboard 2-way = You can use up to 2 CPUs of this kind at the same time on the motherboard 8-way = You can use up to 8 CPUs of this kind at the same time on the motherboard It just means the number of CPUs you can run concurrently.
What is 8-way processor?
1-way = You can only use 1 CPU on the motherboard 2-way = You can use up to 2 CPUs of this kind at the same time on the motherboard 8-way = You can use up to 8 CPUs of this kind at the same time on the motherboard It just means the number of CPUs you can run concurrently.
What are advantages and disadvantages of multiprocessing?
advantage 1.higher performance due to parallel processing. 2.if one CPU get failed other CPU are used to do that CPUs job. disadvantage 1.complex OS is required. 2.large main memory requried. 3.very expensive.
Multiply by 2 for dual core?
That can either mean a dual-socket machine with dual-core CPUs (two CPUs with two cores each) or a quad-core CPU (one CPU with four cores).
What is the difference between pentium 4 and core 2 quad?
The latest of the Pentium 4 processors were hyperthreaded single core CPUs, while the Core 2 is newer and faster, with more features, and the quads have 4 true cores and does not use hyperthreading. A personal rule of thumb is to consider hyperthreading as an extra half a core. So 4 CPUs on one chip/die (Core 2 quad) is more appealing then 1.5 CPUs (Pentium 4).
