How many CPUs can the SLES Linux kernel support?
More than 64. hope that helps. =]
Up to how many CPUs can Linux support?
Unfortunately, there's not a simple answer to this. The Linux kernel can be compiled to support any number of CPUs. According to some distribution-specific support documents I found in researching this answer, the number ranges from 1-4, 64, 1024, and 'unlimited' in the case of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. When the Kernel is compiled, there is a configuration directive passed to the compiler ('NR_CPUS') that determines the maximum number of CPUs supported. My suggestion is to research your specific distribution and see what the developers compiled the kernel to support. It should be readily available on their documentation (I was able to find this easily for many common distributions).

Why are CPUs called cores?
When CPUs first started coming out, and for many years after, they could only execute one set of instructions at a time. After awhile, interfaces were built to support having multiple CPUs running at the same time to increase the horsepower of a machine. These CPUs had distinct packaging still, but now the computer as a whole could execute a set of instructions per CPU. CPU manufacturers started placing multiple CPUs in one distinct package and also included the interface for the CPUs to talk within this package. So even though you had one product, it could execute multiple instructions at one time. Core is a marketing term to let people know the number of independent sets of instructions that a single CPU package can execute.

How many types of CPU are there?
There are many different types of CPUs. The two main companies that make them are Intel and AMD, and each one has a ton of different CPUs that they make. There are some other companies as well tha tare less well known.

What are the different types of CPUS?
Too many to even begin to list here, forget describing the architectures.
What are the differences in the three types of CPU?
There are many more than 3 types of CPUs. There is no way to categorize all CPUs into 3 major types any more, although in the past there have been. I can only guess what makes you think there are 3 types. Here are some answers which will teach you more about how the electronics and PC industry works:You can say there are/were 3 common major types of CPUs because of their "instruction set". The instruction set is everything, programmers must write software using languages that the specific CPU instructions understand.1. x86 CPUs: made by Intel, AMD. Works with Windows. For the past 4 years or so, Apple/Mac is also x86.2. PPC: what Apple/Mac CPUs were in the past. Windows will not run on PPC, but Linux can.3. ARM: what cell phones and smartphones use.There are also 1 core, 2 core, 3 core, 4 core CPUs ETC. These are no different fundamentally, some single CPUs have 6 or 12 cpus built into 1.Now, what I guess you were really asking about? Intels latest architecture CPUs... the i3, i5, i7.The answer is sad. There is no difference between these 3. i3 is meant to be budget, i5 general use, and i7 high end, professional, entertainment. However, there are i3 and i5 CPUs that are much better than some cheap i7. Usually i7 is better but not always.Intel does not want us to understand, because they want us to pay the most for what we don't need.i7 are the only quad core out of the 3 but i3 and i5 have 4 logical threads (like virtual cores).
