1 Core 8 Threads
6 cores
As many cores and threads that the processor has. The new Intel i7 will shows as 8 cores and Vista can use them all.
500
The highest number of cores in a single processor chip for consumers (high end servers) is the AMD Opteron 6000 series, with 16 cores per processor, and quad processor motherboards allowing for a total number of 64 x86 cores.
is the processor with dual cores.
Four independent cores into a single package composed of a single IC. A dual-core processor contains two cores, and a quad-core processor contains four cores.
dual core
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.
independent cores into a single package composed of a single IC. A dual-core processor contains two cores, and a quad-core processor contains four cores.
Two physical cores and two virtual cores.
seems you are a bit confused there,eh! it seems that u mean uni-core-processor and multi-core-processor. uni simply means 1 so its obvious it is a single core processor. (for eg. Pentium 4's) multi means multiple, so its obvious it is a multiple cores processor. (for eg. core2duo has 2 cores, core2quad has 4 cores, phenom ii x6 110t has 6 cores and so on)
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.)
