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.
as of today the most cores found in a processor is a hexa-core processor meaning 6 cores
At the present a dual core processor is the most you can get.
Dual core is the property of having two cores in a single CPU. Core2Duo is an Intel CPU that has two cores.

Because that particular CPU is a quad core with hyper-threading enabled, which means that you have 4 cores + 4 threads = 8 total CPU's.
Pentium D was the first dual-core cpu.
When you have more than one core in your CPU, you have a multi core CPU. No matter how many cores are in your CPU, everyone of them is working at the same frequency. It is very important to know that when you have a dual core CPU for example and there are two cores wowking at 2Ghz each, your CPU is NOT 4Ghz it is still 2Ghz.
depends on the type the i3 has 2 cores (and 2 virtual ones because of hyperthreading)the i5 has 4 cores the i7 has 4 cores(+4 virtual ones)
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).

Yes, however the amount of cores on a CPU doesn't determine if you can have dual displays or not.
A dual core processor has two processing cores, whereas a quad core has four.
The central processing unit (CPU). The CPU is typically composed of one or more processors with one or more processing cores. For example, a quad core CPU typically has two independent processors with two cores each.
Improved AnswerA dual core CPU means that the processor (chip) has two cores built into it. You can think of a core as a brain, which allows the processor to do more calculations at once. If you yourself had more brains, you would be able to do more at once. It is the same concept with processors. Having more cores doesn't actually mean you have a better processor though. Since an Intel i5 can take on an AMD 6 core processor.Original Answerit is a single cpu with multiple cores that work together. i am building a computer that has an 6core AMD processor in it. there is one cpu that i put in.
