When you have a 3.2 ghz quad core does that mean that each processor is 800 mhz?

No. Each processor core is 3.2gHz. The bottleneck is the bus interface, but the compromise is that each core tends to spend more time executing instructions than accessing memory. Even so, L1 and L2 cache improves the situation by caching memory, so you get the best of both worlds. If, however, all the cores randomly accessed wide areas of memory, performance would suffer.

Does a quad core 2ghz processor make each core 2ghz or half a giga hert?
2 each core
What is the current size of a quad-core processor in nanometers?
in nanometers what is the current size of a quad-core processor
What is quad cpus processor for?
The quad core processor is a processing unit for computers. The main type of computer that a quad core processor runs on and is used on is a Dell computer.
Is quad core a hardware or software?
It is a type of processor, therefore it is hardware. I recommend the i7 processor, which is a quad core
How many core in quad core processor?
As the name suggests... four. Two on each of two dies.
Is a Intel 3rd gen i3 processor a quad or dual core?
i3 is a dual core. The i7 model is a quad core processor.
What is quart core proccessor?
There is no such thing, but if you mean a quad core processor, it is a processor that contains 4 more or less identical "cores", each of which can be used to do the work of the computer.In a single core processor, if you run more than one program at a time, the one core has to switch between each program run a little bit of it at a time. On a quad core processor, four programs could be run at the same time without switching, each program on a different core.This is a gross oversimplification but it expresses the basic concept.
Where can you get a AMD Athlon Quad-Core X4 640 processor?
Core 2 Quad
What is the difference between a core 2 duo processor and a core 2 quad processor?
The quad core processor has four cores. It is essentially two of the Core 2 Duo processors as the Core 2 Duo only has two. The quad core will be faster and as a result more expensive.
What is the performance advantage of a quad core processor to a intel dual processor?
Applications which have been designed to take advantage of mult-core processors will run about twice as fast on a quad core processor as compared to a dual core processor.
What are the 3 widely used processors of a computer?
•Multi-core processor•Dual-core processor•Quad-core processor
Will games that require a 2.6GHz Pentium 4 processor run on a 2.33 GHz Quad core processor?
yes it will do even better because a quad processor that is 2.33 ghz means that it has 4 processors and that each one is 2.33 ghz... therefore by doing 4 x 2.33 you get a resulting answer of 9.32 ghz. So yes the quad core processor will run the game and in fact it will run it very well... by the way i have a 2.5 ghz quad core processor. yes it will do even better because a quad processor that is 2.33 ghz means that it has 4 processors and that each one is 2.33 ghz... therefore by doing 4 x 2.33 you get a resulting answer of 9.32 ghz.
