Best Answer

Not many.

Without being specifically written to take advantage of multiple processors or else recompiled with altered settings, to do so, software gains no advantage from multiple processors (or 'cores').

However, you still have the advantage of 'extra processor power' in general (e.g. two processors of the same type is still twice the processing power of a single processor of that type).

The move to multiple cores and multiple processors has more to do with physical limitations which prevent manufacturers from simply increasing the 'clock' as had been the case for about a decade previously.

Why it is called 8080 processor?

The 8085 microprocessor was an enhanced version of the 8080, primarily running on a single +5V power supply, hence the designation 8085.The 8086 microprocessor was an enhanced version of the 8085, primarily running as a 16 bit processor, hence the designation 8086.The 8088 microprocessor (part of the 8086/8088 family) was a version of the 8086 that run on an 8 bit bus, hence the designation 8088.

What are the characteristics of the processor Core 2 Duo?

The processor Core 2 Duo uses a duo core system that enhances the processing power and efficiency of a computer compared to the single core processor. The Core 2 Duo includes up to 6 MB of shared L2 cache and 1333 MHZ Front Side Bus. These features lead to 50 percent lower energy cost, better multitasking capabilities, enhanced processing speed, and improved execution time all of which lead to a more efficient computer.

Why is it important to know the processing speed and measurement when buying a computer?

There is more to it then that. Some processor's that have a speed of 3.0GHz can process less data then one that is 1.7 GHz. To answer your question, because you could spend a thousand dollars and get a slower computer then one for 700.00.
