Any operating system will use a quad core processor, but many of the older operating systems cannot use the multiple cores-- they simply weren't programmed to do so. In general, anything produced within the past couple years will utilize a quad core processor.
Many applications, however, are not programmed to use four cores, though there is a growing acceptance to use multiple cores to speed the process.
As for operating systems, any recent Linux distro, Mac OS X, Vista and Windows 7 will use four cores, but in general, the newer the OS, the better the utilization of all four cores.

What is the advantages or dis advantages of dual core processors?
Multiple processor systems allow you to run multiple programs at the same time. Generally this means a system-wide boost in performance (when compared to a single CPU machine). This is especially true when you have one program that takes a lot of CPU time and would normally bog down your whole system. On a dual core machine, you have a whole other processor free to run your other, less intense, programs.
Explain the need for different types of processors?
Basically there are two types of processors which are manufactured by two companies and they are Intel and AMD. Now there are a number of varieties available in both Intel and AMD. Intel offers Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Celeron, Pentium II Xeon, Pentium III, Pentium II and III Xeon, Celeron with Pentium III Based, Pentium 4, Pentium M, Intel Core, Dual Core Xeon LV, Intel Pentium Dual Core, Intel Core 2. Pentium Duo, Pentium Dual Core, Core 2 Quad, Intel Pentuim 2 Dual Core Processor. AMD processors include AMD Athlon, AMD Athlon 64, AMD Athlon X2, AMD Athlon Xp, AMD Duron, AMD Sempron, AMD Turion, MD Opteron and AMD Phenom 1. Moreover, there are various processors offered by various companies like Macintosh processor. In other words different processors are used for different types of technology.
Can CSGO Run On My Macbook Air Early 2014 Specs 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5 -4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 -Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB?
Possibly. You need at least a 2.0 GHz processor but on a Mac it needs less processor speed than on a Windows PC. You have enough Ram and a good enough Graphics Card but the processor may let you down.
What is the processor needed to run Mac OS?
The Mac operating system has been used on a variety of architectures, from the Motorola 68000 to the PowerPC 601 to the Intel Core 2 Duo. The latest release of Mac OS X requires a computer with an Intel processor.
Can you run Windows XP Professional x64 on an Intel Core Duo?
No. The Intel Core Duo is a 32-bit processor. it is not capable of running 64-bit operating systems or applications.
What is the most recent processor for the desktop offered by Intel?
Intel Core Processor family
What is the system bus frequency on an Intel core i7 920 2.66 GHz quad core processor?
1066
Dual core technology uses 64 bit processor or 32 bit processor?
Both. The Intel Core Duo was a 32-bit dual-core processor. The Intel Core 2 Duo is a 64-bit processor.
Can playstation 2 games be played with a DVD ROM on a Intel core 2 duo processor?
depends on things such as your operating system, how much ram your computer has, your graphics card, you processor speed, the emulator, and running processes.
What is the latest processor of Intel after core2quad?
80 core processor
Is Intel Celeron 900 2.20 Ghz a good processor?
Intel celeron is the lowest processor Intel offers. Below is the list from best to worst: Intel core i7 Intel core i5 Intel core 2 quad Intel core 2 duo Intel core 2 solo Intel pentium Intel celeron For laptops: Intel core i7 Intel core 2 extreme Intel core 2 quad Intel core 2 duo Intel centrino Intel pentium Intel celeron
What is the difference between dual core Intel atom and Intel Pentium dual core processor?
A single core processor is just that... one processing core. A dual core processor is actually two processing cores on one chip. It is like having two processors in your system, but it is faster than two individual processors.
Which processor has the highest system external bus speed?
Intel core i7 which has 512-bit
Is an Intel core prossessor better than a quad core prossessor?
The question you're asking, unfortunately, is not worded correctly. An Intel processor is a family of processor, where a quad-core processor is a type of processor. The Intel family includes many types of quad-core processors. However, to try and disambiguate what you're asking, an Intel core processor will be good, no matter what type it is. An Intel quad-core processor - for example, the Intel i7 - will perform fantastically well. The other main type of processor manufacturer - AMD - also have quad-core processors. However, a lot of it is down to opinion and machine build as to whether Intel is better than AMD, but personally, I believe Intel will out-perform and out-last an AMD processor.
Will my laptop work well with the Elgato HD game capture?
Processor: Intel Core i5-4200U CPU @1.6GHz-2.3GHz RAM: 4.00GB 64-bit operating system
