Dual core is the property of having two cores in a single CPU. Core2Duo is an Intel CPU that has two cores.
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.
no
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).
It depends on what kind of processor you are talking about. If you are talking about a CPU, the main processor in a computer, the reason for multiple cores and not a single very processor is a fairly simple answer. Imagine you have a toll booth (the CPU), with a number of lanes (cores in the CPU). In real life the technology only exists to build a toll booth of a certain size. So what happens? You build more lanes and add more toll booths. That is basically the reason for building multiple cores.
Yes, however the amount of cores on a CPU doesn't determine if you can have dual displays or not.
There are many factors. 1. Clock frequency 2. Memory bandwidth 3. L2/L3 cache size 4. Instruction per cycle 5. number of CPU cores.
