Modern integrated circuit technology is reaching limits of small size and high speed that are getting harder and harder to overcome. However putting multiple processors on one chip allows microprocessor manufacturers to work around this by letting the operating system assign independent processes to different processor cores, converting a serial problem into a parallel one. The speed of an n core processor approaches asymptotically the speed of one processor running n times as fast. At a far cheaper price than that hypothetical high speed uniprocessor would cost with current technology.

How many cores in a hexagon processor have?
6 cores
How many cores does vista support?
As many cores and threads that the processor has. The new Intel i7 will shows as 8 cores and Vista can use them all.
How many cores does the Xbox One use for gaming?
8 cores
How many cores AMD FX has?
depend which one you get, cores range from maybe dual or quad to 8 cores.
Is it good or bad for a CPU to have multiple cores?
The more cores/processors the more independent parallel tasks a CPU/microprocessor has the potential to run at the same time (not serially timeshared on a single core/processor). This is usually considered good as it improves the effective processing speed of the CPU/microprocessor without having to run on a faster clock. However it can also be considered bad as it makes the CPU/microprocessor more complex and harder to build, usually making it more expensive. But ultimately it is a trade off and you must pay for what you get.
Numerical and microprocessor relay comparison?
Numerical relays are all microprocessor based, but there are relays that take the advantage of microprocessor technology and are not fully numerical. In other words, if a relay is fully based on processing the samples of input signals it is numerical relay.
How many ic's used in the microprocessor?
we are using just one ic in a microprocessor
How many cores are in a golfball?
Alot
How many cores does the 6500k have?
2
How many cores does the sandy bridge CPU have?
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)
How many cores does core dual core have?
Dual means two, so two separate cores
How many bit input is given to a microprocessor?
8 bit input is given to Intel 8085 microprocessor.
