Why core business is better than diversification?
The core business of a company is the business that it is primarily in. It is generally considered good for a company to focus on its core business and get rid of other businesses unless it has strong synergies or strategic reasons to justify operating other businesses. Companies are usually run by managers who understand the core business best (because that is what is most important) so they can generally run the core business better than non-core businesses. The latter are therefore better run as standalone businesses. Running non-core businesses also means more a complicated management structure and distracts management from the core business.
Will Intel core i7 3960x CPU fit in asus saber-toothed 990fx motherboard?
No, it will not. Asus Sabertooth 990FX uses AM3+ socket which accommodates AMD processors only.
How many threads can be executed on an Intel Core 2 Duo processor simultaneously?
OK. How about an INTELLIGENT answer???? Would be nice, right? First, the difference between hardware and software threads. A hardware thread refers to a physical processor's ability to run a software thread. A software thread is part of your code that you execute in a thread. That is to say, if a processor can handle two hardware threads, that means the processor can simultaneously run up to two software threads at a time. Hardware threads means physical resources. Software threads are created by your program. Regardless of how many software threads your program defines, the processor that provides two hardware threads can only execute two of them concurrently. Now, I am having big problems finding out how many hardware threads a single processor can run. In graduate school, all of the processors we modeled provided two hardware threads. If this is always true, then the Core 2 Duo sounds like it provides 4 hardware threads. Your program can create pretty much any number of software threads, but at any given time there should be no more than 4 on the chip itself. I will see if I can ask someone from the university to get a good answer and will modify my answer if I find anything out. Either way, my answer completely trumps the one that was previously posted here.
What is the maximum front side bus FSB speed of an Intel Core 2?
The maximum FSB speed of an Intel Core 2 Duo processor is 1066MHz. Note: This is for the Core 2 Duo line only. Intel Dual Core CPU's differ.
Which processor is better amd athlon 64 x2 or Intel Pentium dual-core processor T2330?
Intel centrino-dio is better for the current market.
What is the difference between Intel and SPARC?
They are both CPU types. Intel mainly make what are known as x86 processors which have a particular instruction set and conform to whats known as a CISC ( Complex Instruction Set ) type - These are also made by AMD. This means most instructions are implemented in silicon. The SPARC architecture is a RISC ( Reduced Instruction Set ) type where they implement a lower number of instructions in silicon which makes each instrucion faster and then other instruction are made from combinations of the hardware based ones.
Another major difference is the byte ordering in that the bits are Big Endian in SPARC and little endian in Intel / x86 i.e. BE reads bytes left to right, LE is right to left
Is the processor celeron 450 any good?
On the net, it seems there is no Celeron 450 model, but there is a Celeron M 450 which clocks at 2GHz which is used in Laptops or Shuttle PC's.
The CPU is quite cheap compared to Pentium 4 and Core 2 Models but it handles day to day tasks very well. So if it is for business or office use then it would be ideal.
However, if you are looking towards video editing or mainstream gaming, then you should avoid it.
Yes, the 1.7 with 2mb L2 cache will work great, but it means a complete disassembly of the laptop in order to get at the cpu socket.
What is the current size of a quad-core processor in nanometers?
in nanometers what is the current size of a quad-core processor
What is difference between processors cores and threads?
A processor "core" is a physical processing unit on the die (the silicon wafer - the actual chip). Older CPUs have only one core per chip. For these, to get two processing units (cores) you must have a motherboard with two separate CPU sockets. With two physical CPUs, communication between the CPUs has to go out one CPU socket, across the motherboard support circuitry, and in through the socket of the second CPU. This is considerably slower than the speed at which things take place inside the circuitry on the same chip. So to increase processing speed, and to lower manufacturing and end-user costs, individual CPUs were designed to have more than one processing unit (cores) on the chip. So a 2-core CPU is very much like having two separate CPUs but is less expensive and can often be faster than two single-core CPUs of the same capability because of the increased communication speed between them, and because they can share common circuitry such as a cache.
A processor "thread" is an execution sequence active in a processor (core). By definition, a single-core CPU can have only one thread active at a time. A 2-core CPU can have up to two threads active (one per core); but only one per core.
In a simplistic view, a thread (a sequence of steps to be executed) is constructed in a "pipeline" and then "scheduled" for execution by a CPU core. Once a thread is scheduled, the CPU core is executing the pipelined instructions. Frequently, while the thread is executing, the CPU needs more information than just the series of instructions: it needs data. These data values may be only a few nanoseconds away in some RAM memory location or they may be several thousand nanoseconds away (milliseconds) on a disk drive. When a core has to stop executing the thread while it waits to fetch the external data, time is lost. No other thread can be executed while the waiting thread is scheduled on that core (the thread is given an allotment of time and not kicked out early).
This is similar to a single lane bridge. Only one car can use the bridge at a time. If a driver stops to take a scenic picture, no other car can use the bridge until the driver gets his picture and moves off the bridge. To prevent complete closure of the core, the CPU has a mechanism to swap an entire thread off of the core if it experiences a serious problem (like a car with a breakdown), but that is a very costly process and is not used if the thread is just waiting for I/O to complete so that it may continue executing. Like the car analogy, forcing a hung thread out of a core prematurely is like waiting for a tow truck to get the broken down car off the bridge. It takes quite a while, but it is still quicker than repairing the car on the bridge.
A multi-threaded core is like a bridge that has a passing lane. When the driver on the bridge stops to take a picture, the car behind him can still use the bridge by passing the stopped car using the passing lane. Think of it as two different pipelines where thread executions are constructed. Still only one can be scheduled to a core at a time. But if the executing thread is waiting to fetch I/O, the other thread can jump in the core and get a little CPU time in while the thread assigned to the core is waiting.
This allows what may look like two cores (two pipelines executing at the same time). BUT IT IS NOT. Still only one thread at a time can be executed by the core at a time. This just allows another thread to execute during the waiting period of the first thread. Depending upon specific application design, data needs, I/O, etc, multithreading can actually decreaseperformance or may increase performance up to about 40% (sited from Intel and Microsoft sources).
Intel CPUs support multithreading, but only two threads per CPU. AMD CPUs do not support multithreading and AMD often sites Microsoft's recommendations to turn off Hyperthreading on Intel CPUs when running applications like peoplesoft and Exchange.
What is duo processor n mobile technology in laptop?
Processor (aka CPU or microprocessor) is the brain of your computer. It reads instructions from your software and tells your computer what to do. With its two execution cores, the Intel Core Duo processor is optimized for multi-threaded applications and multitasking. You can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching programs - while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background.

Depends on the computer, some use F1, F2, DEL, ESC. When your first turn the computer on at the logo, you should see something somewhere either at the top or bottom of the screen saying press "what ever button" to enter setup..or something along those lines
Why Intel T7500 is 2.2 Ghz and T8100 is 2.1 Ghz Which is Superior?
Technically, they are nearly the same. However, if you want to see the differences, I suggest you look at these sites. http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLA44 http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLAP9
Can AMD Phenom 9600 Quad core processor run 64 bit win7?
According to specifications, you should be able to run 64 bit OS. But some people have complained about problems while using it with x64 OSes.
Exercise caution when you purchase it because it might work for purposes you are buying it for despite the fact it was designed for it.
The difference is that they are different models. the P7450 is somewhat faster unless you use outdated ram. T6600 is more power hungry, and emits more heat. I have it in my laptop, and right now, using only the browser it runs at ~60 65 degrees Celsius. So, there you are, the P7450 is somewhat better.
Can Sims 3 run on 1.8 Ghz dual core?
