very basic......handles the most basic 3d games.....i highly suggest Core I7 though.....it is the absolute best.....if you are a gamer or anything else...it defiantly suits anyone's needs
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
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.
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).
The central processing unit (CPU). In the past, CPUs used to only have 1 core, but with the multiple cores in computers now, it is like having multiple CPUs.

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).
Dual core means two CPUs so what you really have is to CPUs each run at the speed of 3.4 Ghz and not one CPU that runs at 6.8GHz... Programming your Life...
All CPUs branded "Pentium 4" are single-cored.
They are treated exactly like two separate CPUs. Any operating system that can use multiple CPUs can also use a processor with multiple internal cores, with no changes needed to the code.
Nowadays the CPU's could have more than one core - they may have 2, 4 cores. Of course there still are CPUs with one core and they are called single core processors.

The term "N core" means that the microprocessor contains 2 or more independent CPUs instead of the single CPU in the "traditional" microprocessor. The more CPUs in the microprocessor, the more instructions it can execute per clock cycle, because the extra CPUs work in parallel and usually do not have to wait for each other.
