Affordability and Quality. Today's Computer Processors are more powerful than ever before. Computer Processors are faster and more reliable resulting in better overall performance and mobility for all types of computing needs. Intel and AMD computer processors offer increased speed, agility and performance with the new dual core computer processors. With the latest Dual-Core, speed is a word of the past. With A Dual-Core processor, users can Boost multitasking power with improved performance for highly multithreaded and compute-intensive applications which in return, reduces costs and use less power with energy efficiency. Dual-Core processor users can look forward to enjoying flexibility and the performance power to handle robust content creations and intense gaming with multimedia-enabling technologies built in. A dual core processor is a CPU with two separate cores, each with its own cache. It's the equivalent of getting two microprocessors in one. In a single-core or traditional processor the CPU is fed strings of instructions it must order, execute, then selectively store in its cache for quick retrieval. When data outside the cache is required, it is retrieved through the system bus from random access memory (RAM) or from storage devices. Accessing these slows down performance to the maximum speed the bus, RAM or storage device will allow, which is far slower than the speed of the CPU. The situation is compounded when multi-tasking. In this case the processor must switch back and forth between two or more sets of data streams and programs. CPU resources are depleted and performance suffers. In a dual core processor each core handles incoming data strings simultaneously to improve efficiency. A central processing unit (CPU), or sometimes just processor, is a description of a class of logic machines that can execute computer programs. This broad definition can easily be applied to many early computers that existed long before the term "CPU" ever came into widespread usage. However, the term itself and its initialism have been in use in the computer industry at least since the early 1960s. The form, design and implementation of CPUs have changed dramatically since the earliest examples, but their fundamental operation has remained much the same. Early CPUs were custom-designed as a part of a larger, usually one-of-a-kind, computer. However, this costly method of designing custom CPUs for a particular application. Placing two or more powerful computing cores on a single processor opens up a world of important new possibilities. The next generation of software applications will likely be developed using multi-core processors because of the performance and efficiency they can deliver compared to single core processors.
