It is a processor that has only one core, so it can only start one operation at a time. It can however in some situations start a new operation before the previous one is complete. Originally all processors were single core. Multi core processors were introduced later, when increasing the clock speeds further was too hard. These new multi core processors are two processing units combined into one.

What is the difference between duel core and single core processors?
single core is a tradisional processor but multi core is a combined of two or more of independent processor
What are unicore processor and multicore processor?
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.
What is meant by the core of a processor?
The individual executable unit of porcessor is called a core. There can be single/dual/quad cores in a single processor
Will a 1GHz quad-core processor work the same as a 4GHz single-core?
No. Multiple cores does not mean performance is equal to [number of cores] times [performance of single core processor]. While a multi-core processor does have a performance advantage over a single-core processor, gains are usually in the ballpark of 15% per core. For example, comparing the Core Solo and Core Duo.
What is a Quad Core processor?
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.
What is a quad-core processor?
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.
Does HTC Desire S have a dual core processor?
it a single processor
What is example single core processor?
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.
What is meant by dual core processor?
dual core processor means two processors which works together to do fast work as compared to single core processor.
What is the benefit of a dual core processor over a single core processor?
on a single core processor, if a program crashes, the system hangs while waiting for it. on a duel-core processor, the program has use of one core, leaving the other core free for other programs, such as Tssk Manager, so the dead program can be closed.
What advantage do dual core amd quad core processors have over single core?
The advantage of dual core and quad core processors over single core processors is that a dual or quad core processor can perform more calculations per second than a single core processor.
What are cores in a processor?
Processor (CPU)The chip that is the 'brain' of the computer. The faster the processor, the better a computer will perform. The latest processors have multiple 'cores', meaning that in effect there are several processors on the same microchip, giving better performance. A core does all the calculations which run the programs. The more processors and faster the speed, the faster your computer will run.A core processor is one core that is in a single chipA dual core processor is two processors that are combined into a single chip.A quad core processor is four processors that are combined into a single chip.A hex-core processor is six processors that are combined into a single chip.A octa-core processor is eight processors that are combined into a single chip.The speed of a processor is measured in gigahertz (GHz).
