It was only when Intel developed the Core Duo that they had more than one core or processor per chip
IMPROVED:
The 486 CPU was the first CPU Intel made which utilized a single processor chip for all functions. Before it, processors such as the 286 and 386 utilized two processors (an ALU and a math coprocessor) to perform tasks, as they could not fit both functions onto one.
Now, all processors have a built-in ALU and math-coprocessor. As of the Intel Core Duo they contained two separate cores in a single processor. It is still, however, a single processor! It just has two cores and thus can function as two separate CPUs. This trend continued in the Core 2 Duo line.

What are some of the better data processors available on the market?
There are many different CPU processors on the market. Some of the top-rated processors are Intel core i7-2600k CPU, Intel core i7-2500k CPU, and AMD Phenom II X6.
What Intel Cpu was the first to include an integrated floating point unit?
The Intel 80486.
1 CPU is how many processors?
CPU means Central Processing Unit,it is another name of processor.So 1 CPU means 1 processor
How many number of CPU cores are present in Dual Core Processors?
2
What material is used to built processor or chips?
Modern processors and computer components use silicone. Older processors such as the 80486 and Pentium used ceramic on the original chips, and switched to silicone.
Is 2.0 GHz CPU is better than 1.86 GHz CPU?
Yes & no. If they are both single-core (one processor) than yes, the 2.0GHz is clocked at a higher speed. But in the case of multi-core processors it varies...such as: A 3.0GHz single-core CPU is "equivalent" to at 1.5GHz dual-core (two processors) CPU. Or a 1.5GHz Quad-core (four processors) CPU is faster than a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU because it'd be 1.3GHz x 4 processors versus 1.5GHz x 2 processors.
Can multiple processors can be installed in a single processor housing?
Yes, these are called micro-processors. If you have a dual-core CPU, it means you have two micro-processors running in your CPU rather than just one.

Do Intel CPU processors have a better cost to performance ratio?
Intel CPU processors have a very stable price, they don't differ a lot from the CPU processors of AMD but AMD has more discount offers on it's CPU processors which in some occassions give them a better cost to performance ratio. In other words, buying an AMD processor with a good discount might just beat the Intel CPU processor cost to performance ratio.
What is the first CPU to include an internal math co processor?
Not sure if it's the first but:"Intel processors later than the 80486 integrated floating-point hardware on the main processor chip" source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coprocessor#Modern_PC_coprocessorsCouldn't find anything about Motorola processors with math coprocessors built-in.I believe AMD was just behind Intel with the processor design.
What Intel CPU first introduced the two-processors in one package concept?
Pentium D was 1st Intel desktop CPU to put 2 CPU's in same package called dual core. It uses a 775 pin motherboard socket, now a standard for many Intel processors.
