These are the Central Processing Unit (CPU) chips used inside Windows computers (and now Macintosh too). For example, the Pentium is an x86-based CPU. Originally built by Intel, other manufacturers like AMD make x86 CPUs. See Wikipedia:

Yes most technology have cpus.
some factors that you need to consider.first the purpose you need that cpu.the cpus clock,the cpus fsb,the cpus socket to be compatible with your motherboard and the cpus l2 cache
No. If you want dual CPUs from AMD, you need to get opteron CPUs.
Too many to even begin to list here, forget describing the architectures.

AMDs 'dual core' CPUs, those that contain 2 CPU cores, as opposed to the 1 CPU core found in earlier AMD (and intel, VIA, cyrix etc) CPUs. Dual core CPUs have much better multitasking performance than traditional single core CPUs.
Yes.
yes
They are treated exactly like two separate CPUs. Any operating system that can use multiple CPUs can also use a processor with multiple internal cores, with no changes needed to the code.
Front Side Bus (for older Intel CPUs). Hypertransport (for AMD) and CSI (for newer Intel CPUs)
Due to battery life and heat concerns, the cooling potential of a laptop CPU is slower than a desktop CPU.
Dell does not manufacture CPUs themselves but rather use CPUs from big manufacturers like Intel and then put them in their computers. So simply check what CPU the Dell model has and then find information at the manufacturers website, usually Intel.
