Hyperthreading is cheaper, and will produce less heat. Overall though, dual-cores are better.
what is Intel Hyper-Threading technology?
Why Intel introduced it , and why it close it ?
What are the advantages and disadvantages?
multi core processor does twice as many computations and only works half as hard they are faster your machine stays cooler which gives your computer twice the life span and boy can they rock
Quite simply, a Uni (Single) core processor has only a single primary calculations core. A Multi (Dual, quad, hexi, etc) core processor has more than one primary calculations core.
Multicore is best for most functions now but if speed is the most important thing than you would go for the fastest.
Whether or not you get any benefit from a dual core processor over a single core processor depends on what operating system and what programs you are running. Newer operating systems (Windows 7, Mac OSX) do use multicore processors. Also, using multiple programs on a computer will better utilize a multicore processor. In short, yes it can make a difference for today's average user.
Multiprocessor, as opposed to Multicore, which is more than 1 core within a single physical CPU.
Not really, the vast majority of computers ever built had only one CPU (i.e. core) and thus functioned perfectly well without a multicore processor.
Multicore processing improves processing speed
Depends on the OS runnning and also the type of applications to be run on the system. I think on lighter processor loading, the single processor will perform better than a multicore due to the management software required for multi cores. However, when the processor load is increased, which by the way has always been the case in the past, then the multi core is in a class of it's own. This is of course assuming that the software was written correctly to utilise multicore bandwidth effectively. JPT
False
Literally that, a processor with Multiple Cores. This means the processor has mutipule fully functioning or discrete processing units, capable of handling the functions typically associated with the CPU.
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.
An example of a single core Processor is anything from Intel's first processor to the late Pentium 4 era. There are also some single core Pentium Core 2/duo line products but those were very cheap for consumers.
Solder comes in 2 basic varieties, solid and rosin-core. Simple rosin-core solder is a tube of low-melting-point metal with flux filling the single core down the center. Multicore solder has multiple hollows in it, each filled with flux.
