The general name requirement for running multiple processors is often referred to as "multi-core" or "multi-processor" systems. These systems can utilize multiple processing units to improve performance by executing multiple tasks simultaneously. Typically, they require a compatible motherboard, sufficient RAM, and a power supply capable of supporting the increased demands of multiple processors. Additionally, the operating system must support multi-threading and multi-processing to effectively manage the workload across the processors.
No - considering you're running 10.2.8 (and haven't upgraded since then), I would guess you are running either a G4 or G5 processor, which do not meet 10.6's requirement for an Intel processor.
1 process at most is running. 1 process or multiple are ready. 1 process or multiple are waiting.
Hyper threading processors simulate a dual core processor with only a single core. Technically you are still running a single core processor, but multiple tasks can be run more efficiently..
A 1.4 GHZ Processor can be a 32-bit processor, but it can also be a 64-bit processor. The distinction between 32-bit vs 64-bit and the speed are two completely different things. In general, when looking for a processor - keep these things in mind: 64-bit is better than 32-bit, assuming you are running a 64-bit operating system on the 64-bit processor. Running a 32-bit OS on a 64-bit processor is fine, but you will not get any benefits from having a 64-bit processor in those situations. Multi-core processors are better than single core processors. Having multiple cores is similar (though not the same) as having multiple processors. They can process more tasks in the same amount of time. In general, if you can get a dual core or a quad core - you'll be better off. Lastly, speed is also important. The higher the speed (i.e. 1.4 GHZ, 1.8 GHZ et. al.) the faster the processor can get things done. If you are shopping for a processor to put in a specific system board, you must make sure you get the proper type of processor. If you have a system board that is designed for an Intel processor, an AMD processor will likely not work. You need to determine the socket type and supported processors for your system before deciding on one.
A Pentium 4 processor, and a motherboard that supports it.
it primarily running as a 16 bit processor..so it is so called as 8086
The 386SX is a 32 bit processor running on a 16 bit bus.
The 386DX is a 32 bit processor running on a 32 bit bus.
Whether or not you get any benefit from a dual core processor over a single core processor depends on what operating system and what programs you are running. Newer operating systems (Windows 7, Mac OSX) do use multicore processors. Also, using multiple programs on a computer will better utilize a multicore processor. In short, yes it can make a difference for today's average user.
The processor in the Sega Genesis is a Motorola 68000 running at 7.67 MHz.
There are a number of specifications that make up the Itanium processor. These include 64 bit instruction, parallel processing, multiple cores and running speeds of up to 2.5GHz.
When multiple processes are running concurrently in a system, several effects can occur, both beneficial and challenging. Here are some of them: Benefits: Improved Throughput: Resource Utilization: Parallelism: Better Responsiveness: now Challenges are Resource Competition Complexity Deadlocks
