Multi-core
"Single core" refers to the computer's main chip having a single processor. Newer models, such as Intel's i3, i5 and i7, have multiple processors (2, 4, or 6 processors), usually called multiple "cores", on a single chip. GHz refers to the clock speed of each individual processor. It gives you a rough idea of how fast it can process data. However, the processing speed will also depend on other factors.
Hyper threading processors simulate a dual core processor with only a single core. Technically you are still running a single core processor, but multiple tasks can be run more efficiently..
The Intel Atom is available in both single core and dual-core varieties.The following Atom processors are single-core processors:230D410N270N280N450N470Z500Z510Z515Z520Z530Z540Z550The following Atom processors are dual-core processors:330D510
Smart phones use single core and multi-core processors.
It's an integrated circuit with (almost) all the functions of a processor designed into one chip.
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.
Yes, these are called micro-processors. If you have a dual-core CPU, it means you have two micro-processors running in your CPU rather than just one.

Of course it will run. But it will not be making full utilization of the multi-core architecture. In that aspect, single-core processors with more processing power are sometimes better suited to run single threaded application than multi-core processors with less processing power.
Computer processor cores come as single core (one processor), Dual core (two processors), Quad core (four processors) and Six Core. Although apple now offers a computer which can have 8 or 12 cores

Yes it is for finding out what processors are Single/Dual/Quad cores you can use this website. The page given corresponds with your processor.
