Why not design a single really powerful processor?
It depends on what kind of processor you are talking about. If you are talking about a CPU, the main processor in a computer, the reason for multiple cores and not a single very processor is a fairly simple answer. Imagine you have a toll booth (the CPU), with a number of lanes (cores in the CPU). In real life the technology only exists to build a toll booth of a certain size. So what happens? You build more lanes and add more toll booths. That is basically the reason for building multiple cores.
Microprocessor is single chip processor or multi chip?
Microprocessor is a single chip processor.
Does HTC Desire S have a dual core processor?
it a single processor
Why you use a lot of small processor in super computer instead of a powerful processor?
Smaller processors are almost always cheaper, and use less electricity. Using a large number of processors in parallel also gives some redundancy, since a single processor node failing will not stop work from being performed.
What is a chip that runs a PC's unit?
It is called a micro-processor......a processor on a single chip
What is the most cores that a single processor has?
Intel is currently preparing a six core processor for release.Four processor are the most you can get now.
What are unicore processor and multicore processor?
Quite simply, a Uni (Single) core processor has only a single primary calculations core. A Multi (Dual, quad, hexi, etc) core processor has more than one primary calculations core.
What company manufactured the single core processor?
AMD, Intel, ARM, VIA, Samsung, etc have all produced or manufactured a single core or variant of a single core processor at some point. I'm sure there's more, but I can't imagine you need to know all of them. If you meant FIRST single-core processor... The Intel 4004 was a 4-bit processor manufacturered in 1971-- This has the distinction of being the first fully complete processor contained on a single chip.
What is a Quad Core processor?
Four independent cores into a single package composed of a single IC. A dual-core processor contains two cores, and a quad-core processor contains four cores.
What is example single core processor?
An example of a single core Processor is anything from Intel's first processor to the late Pentium 4 era. There are also some single core Pentium Core 2/duo line products but those were very cheap for consumers.
What is a 3ds's processor?
The 3DS contains an ARM11 MPCore dual-core processor, and also a single ARM9 processor for backwards compatability with the original DS games.
Why not just design a single powerful processor instead of many workstation in parallel?
one single powerful processor consumes more energy generates more heat then multi-core processors ,A multi core processor will also be faster since there are multiple processors to handle the data manipulation instead of having to use time sharing.
