What advantage do dual core amd quad core processors have over single core?
The most gaping advantage can be very easilly explained through example:
Single core processors have a single thread, and can process a single set of instructions per clock cycle. This looks like this (Saying this processor can process 2 instructions a clock):
(Note this is in an optimal setting where data is perfectly threaded)
Clock 1: Instruction 1; Instruction 2;
Clock 2: Instruction 3; Instruction 4;
Clock 3: Instruction 5; Instruction 6;
Clock 4: Instruction 7; Instruction 8;
Dual-Core processing would do this same instruction set much quicker:
Clock 1: Instruction 1; Instruction 2; Instruction 3; Instruction 4
Clock 2: Instruction 5; Instruction 6; Instruction 7; Instruction 8
In a perfectly threaded application, two equivilent-performance cores on a dual core processor would power through the work twice as quickly as a single-core model. A quad-core with these specs would do the entire instruction set in a single clock.
Even if it isn't always a 2x increase, multiple-core procesors have a distinct advantage in a very large range of applications.
Which is better amd or Pentium?
The AMD Sempron is AMD's brand for low-cost processors. These are primarily desktop processors that are meant for users on a budget who do not have extensive computing needs (i.e. web, e-mail, word processing, etc.).
The AMD Turion is AMD's mobile-grade processor specifically meant for laptops. These processors draw less power and generate less heat than desktop processors, which is why they are desirable for laptop environments.
The AMD Turion is a much better CPU for use in laptops as the improved power efficiency means longer battery life, and the Turion (not being a low-cost processor) is also likely to be a faster performing processor over the Sempron.
Which is better Intel core 2 duo T6400 2.0 ghz or Intel core 2 duo T6600 2.2 ghz?
Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 is better. Look at the numbers, when newer versions come out, the numbers get higher. T6600 is running 2.2ghz, while the other one is running only 2.0 ghz. You are winning by .2 ghz, which is somewhat of a lot in computer terms. I recommend the T6600, unless the price of the T6600 is 15% more than the T6400. You will be able to run a lot more applications with the T6600.
Which is the latest Intel Pentium processor?

Who started Intel corporation?
By Gordon Moore.
He had the idea that every household should have a computer, which was put off as ridiculous by his former company. He searched a partner and togheter they founded Intel. Soon after the first microprocessor was produced.
Difference between 80186 and 80286 and 80386?
5/2/2012 Laith fahim from Iraq,Baghdad 80386 (or 80386DX) is internally and externally a 32-bit microprocessor with a 32-bit address bus. It is capable of handling physical memory of up to 4 GB (232).Virtual memory was increased to 64 terabytes (246) .
80386SX has a 16-external data bus and a 24-bit address bus which gives a 16MB (224) of memory . that is makes more cheaper from the 80386DX

What are the differences between the Intel 80386 and the Intel 80486?
* Data/Instruction Cache - An 8192-byte SRAM built into the processor core, designed to store the most commonly used instructions. The 386 supported an off-chip cache, but this was much slower. * Pipelining - This allows the processor to handle a Locate-Fetch-Execute each clock cycle. The pipeline is offset meaning the execute step required information from the previous two clock cycles. A locate would feed the next fetch, the fetch would feed the next execute. The 386 needs to do each step separately. * Improvements to MMU performance. * Integrated FPU - (DX models only) Added accelerated high end math functions.

When is it appropriate to use a Celeron rather than a Pentium IV in a computer system?
The Celeron processor is a good and cheaper alternative to Pentium II when higher performance is not required and the price is a important. The Celeron processors are based on the same core as more expensive Pentium processors but lack in features such as L2 cache size and bus speed.
What is different between amd and Intel?
There are plenty of giants in the world of technology, like Microsoft, Apple and Google. Two of the biggest forces in technology manufacturing are Intel and Advanced Micro Devices, commonly called AMD. Both specialize in microprocessors. Based on the type of microprocessor in your PC, your computer is either an Intel or an AMD system.
Amd and Intel have very different clock frequencies.
Amd processors are mostly known for their price per performance meaning what you pay is what you get while Intel is more expensive and has much higher performance then you might need, depending on what you want to do.
Mostly Intel is the top brand in performance and market but Amd had its moments a few years back.
The companies Intel and AMD are huge forces in the world of technology, and both began around the same time: Intel in 1968, and AMD in 1969. Today, they're without peer as the two biggest manufacturers of commercial processors. They make both CPUs and GPUs, and both produce good processors for consumers. Your computer almost certainly has processors from Intel, AMD or both.
What are the differences between an Intel Core 2 Duo and an Intel Pentium Dual-Core?
Intel Pentium Dual-Cores are identical in architecture to Intel Core 2 Duos. The differences are:
Is Intel processor better than AMD Athlon?
its better when it comes from reliablity and durability AMD is faster sometimes than Intel and more faster than ever to break. AMD's life span is short compared to INTEL.
What is the processor speed of an iPad?
i am not sure what processer is in the ipad but a computer speeds are measured in Gigahertz per second (GHz)
Is an AMD Athlon 64 faster than an Intel Pentium 4?
If everything else is equal (hard drive speeds, memory size and video card hardware, etc) the AMD 4000+ is quite a bit faster than a Pentuim 4 2.4ghz.
Can Linux be used on other systems that run Intel compatible processors?
Yes. Linux has been ported to over a dozen CPU architectures, such as PowerPC, SPARC, Alpha, MIPS, SH-3, SH-4, ARM, and the Motorola 68k.
P.S. - AMD processors are considered Intel-compatible.
Intel Core i5 (i5) is a brand name used for various mid-range to high-end consumer business microprocessors made by Intel. In general, processors sold as Core i5 are more powerful variants of the same processors marketed as entry-level (Celeron and Pentium.)

How much gold in Pentium d processor?
very amused n surprised to find a question like this and came to know that Chips of Intel do have gold in them but was unable to get u the exact amount of the Treasure in them but if u were looking for the treasure try this article on the chips of Intel itself might make u n fetch u millions as they did.
Do notify me if u find an answer satisfactory.

What kind of wafers are used in Intel to make computer chips?
Silicon Ingot:
A large, cylindrical, single crystal made from purified silicon. The cylinder is sliced into thin wafers which are used for making computer chips. Silicon Wafer:
Intel uses wafers of pure silicon cut from a silicon ingot to make microprocessors. Silicon, the primary ingredient of beach sand, is a semiconductor of electricity. Semiconductors are materials that can be altered to be either a conductor or an insulator.

Most significant period of human development?
Perhaps when a person begins to understand just how precious life is. Someone answered a similar question by saying "Young and middle age". But what about old age, is this time in ones life not as important? When one grows older and perhaps retired, they can do all of those thing they missed doing in earlier years.
It is this old codgers opinion that between the ages of four years and twenty are the most important. This period is what I would call the learning years, a period which will enable you to understand the responsibilities in life, and how to face up to them.
There can be no minute, hour, day or year which is the most important. All of these time periods will hold something dear to you. Something that will have you thinking "I am glad I lived through that period of my life".
I have often said on this program that "Time fly's on wings of lightning, you cannot call it back". Every second you draw breath is the most important period in ones life.
