Multi-tasking! Multiple-core model microprocessors typically perform better in highly-threaded tasks or any applications that require processor multitasking. Keep in mine multi-core processors typically have less per-core performance the higher number of cores they have. This means that, while an 8 core processor does better in highly threaded applications, it will more than likely exhibit lacking performance in single / lightly threaded workloads, such as older programs and most games. Most gamers will tell you that quad or even dual core processors are the best for gaming, due to their lower power requirements, thermal output, and better performance-per-core ratio.
What else can I help you with?
When was Multicore Association created?
Multicore Association was created in 2005.
Which CPUs have extra hardware built in to allow more than one thread to be processed at the same time on a single CPU?
Multicore
What is the name of the memory cache that is shared by cores in a multicore processor?
L3 Cache
Is the multicore processor the most important hardware component in a computer?
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.
What is the processing of more than one thread at a time in a multicore processor called?
Parallel
How can I utilize the ffmpeg multicore feature to improve the processing speed of my video encoding tasks?
You can use the ffmpeg multicore feature to split the video encoding task into smaller parts and process them simultaneously on multiple CPU cores, which can significantly speed up the encoding process.
What is a multicore solder?
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.
What was Intel's first multicore processor?
Intel's first multicore processor was the Xeon, followed the same year (2002) by the Pentium IV. The two cores were implemented in a hyperthreading configuration, allowing two simultaneous threads when both threads were in the same process address space. Independent cores (in different address spaces) were supported starting with the Core-2 Duo. This configuration extended the hyperthreading model to include duplicating enough of the bus interface unit to allow two unrelated threads to run simultaneously.
Why there is need of multicore processor?
Its needed because its faster, most programs need more speed to run, its better.
What type of processor is designed to let the operating system divide the work over more than one processor?
multicore
Does Photoshop support multicore processors?
Indeed it does. See http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2006/12/photoshop_and_multicore.html for some further information.
What are multi core states?
Multicore states are states that have multiple large population groupings, and each of those groupings are about equal in economic importance
