Which CPU is manufactured as a multi core processor with one of the cores disabled?

Triple
Edit:
"Triple?" What does this mean? Triple core? There are Rana processors that are shipped as dual-core but have 3 cores on the die. This means that your answer is wrong.
The most common examples are triple-core processors, but not all of them. As for actual examples, Phenom X2-X3 and Athlon X3 processors are famous for having locked cores.

Phenom X2 and X3 are poorly harvested cores with 1 or 2 cores disabled.
I am sure Intel has some similar offerings, but I don't know what they are off hand.

∙ 11y agoIn the AMD series of multi-core processors there are a number of Phenom II CPUS with disabled cores. This is done when one or more cores has failed and they are sold as lower grade products:
- 900T series: Based on X6 series but with two cores disabled and Turbo Core.
- 700 series: These chips have one core disabled, leaving them with three operational cores (marketed as "X3") and a fully operational L3 cache.
- 500 series: These chips have two cores disabled, leaving them with two operational cores (marketed as "X2") and a fully operational L3 cache.
In the Intel processors the the Intel Core i7 3930K and i7 3960X are actually octo-core server chips with a couple of cores disabled to fit into the desktop segment.

What are uni-processor and multi-processor?
seems you are a bit confused there,eh! it seems that u mean uni-core-processor and multi-core-processor. uni simply means 1 so its obvious it is a single core processor. (for eg. Pentium 4's) multi means multiple, so its obvious it is a multiple cores processor. (for eg. core2duo has 2 cores, core2quad has 4 cores, phenom ii x6 110t has 6 cores and so on)
What is the name of the memory cache that is shared by cores in a multi-core processor?
L3 cache
What processor is a chip with two or more separate processor cores?
For Intel chips this will be almost any Core I5 and I7(with the ones ending with 3 numbers and X being Hexacores, the rest are just Quad cores), for AMD that would be the Chips with "X3 (3 physical cores)/X4(4 cores)/X6(6 cores) in the name.
What is the concept of processor affinity?
In a multicore or multi-CPU system, processor affinity refers to what cores or CPUs a given process can run on. The application can be forced to prefer some cores or processors over others.
Does Windows XP support uni-processor or multi-processor?
XP Home Edition is limited to one processor DIE. It can have any number of CORES. XP can see all of the cores of a Core 2 Quad, for instance. Even if the system in question had two separate die, or chips, XP would still work. It just wouldn't be able to use the second processor.
What is the difference between duo core and quad core?
A core duo processor has two processor cores. A quad core contains four. Multiple processor cores is somewhat like having multiple individual processors, thus allowing your computer to handle more operations at once. For a much more detailed description of multi-core processors, you can read the wikipedia article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-core_(computing)
How can you check that all of the cores of a multi-core processor are working in Windows Vista?
The simplest method is to view the Task Manager (press Ctrl-Alt-Del) and view the CPU performance charts. A chart is provided for each processor core, so if the number of charts is equal to the number of cores in your processor, you will know that they have all been detected and activated.
Significance of pragma directives in the program?
Pragma directive forces processor to use specific advantages for particular processors such as Hyper Threading, multi cores and so on.

What is difference between core and processor?
A processor, or more commonly a CPU, is an individualized processing device. It may contain multiple cores. A core is a bank of registers and dedicated cache structure that performs all of a processor's tasks, but is not an entire processor. For example, more multi-core processors have a separate array of logic functions that are not integrated with the core, such as the Memory Controller in AMD Phenom and Phenom II processors. There is one (or two, in the Phenom II) memory controllers total for the processor, reguardless of the number of cores. Think of a 'core' as a cylinder in an engine. A V8 enginer has 4 'cores', but the engine is the 'processor'. You can have a V12 or a W32 or a V4 or any of another combination, but there's only one processor. However the number of cores can greatly influence the overall power and capability of the processor.
What does dual and quad core mean?
