Intel's first multicore processor was the Xeon, followed the same year (2002) by the Pentium IV. The two cores were implemented in a hyperthreading configuration, allowing two simultaneous threads when both threads were in the same process address space.
Independent cores (in different address spaces) were supported starting with the Core-2 Duo. This configuration extended the hyperthreading model to include duplicating enough of the bus interface unit to allow two unrelated threads to run simultaneously.

What is array processor and what is the role of attached array processor?
aray processor is a processor that performs computations on large arrays of data. It is of two types: (1) attached array processor. (2)SIMD array processor.
Is an operating system responsible for managing processor time and memory allocation?
The processor time is a function of the processor. The memory allocation is a function of the operating system.
Is an Intel Celeron processor a dual core processor?
There are Celeron dual core processors today. However, just because you have Celeron processor, it does not mean your Celeron processor is a dual core processor. The easiest way to tell is to look at the Intel sticker on your computer. If it says "Dual Core," then it is dual core. If it does NOT say "Dual Core," then it is not dual core.
What is the output of a XSLT processor?
The output of an XSLT processor is a set of instructions that dictate how to display the XML data.
What is the difference between transistor and processor?
Transistor is an tiny electronic device called electronic switch,which is building block of a processor. Processor is a data processing device consists of thousands or millions of transistors. Eg- Intel 8086 microprocessor has around 29000 transistors.
Which are the processors having intels nehalem technology?
Any Core i7 processor
What is the name of the memory cache that is shared by cores in a multicore processor?
L3 Cache
Is the multicore processor the most important hardware component in a computer?
Not really, the vast majority of computers ever built had only one CPU (i.e. core) and thus functioned perfectly well without a multicore processor.
What type of processor is designed to let the operating system divide the work over more than one processor?
multicore
What is the processing of more than one thread at a time in a multicore processor called?
Parallel
Is a dual processor CPU better?
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.
Why there is need of multicore processor?
Its needed because its faster, most programs need more speed to run, its better.
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.
Each core in a multicore processor counts toward the maximum number of processors that Windows Server 2008 supports true or false?
False
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.
What is the clocking speed of an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor?
The clocking speed of an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor is 2.4 Ghz. Clock speed refers to how quickly a processor can do a task. More information on all of Intels processors can be found on their website.
Is it better to choose a fast single core processor, or a multi-core processor that is fractional slower?
Multicore is best for most functions now but if speed is the most important thing than you would go for the fastest.
