What are cores on micro processors?

Answer 1

The "core" in a processor is the microprocessor inside of the CPU(Central Processing Unit).

For example, if you have a Dual Core CPU then you have 2 microprocessors inside of the CPU, this allows you to do two things at once, as a microprocessor can only do one thing at a time the only exception to this is Multi-Threading which allows one core to do the work of multiple cores, but its not as fast as having multiple cores.

Answer 2

A core is an execution unit and enough of the bus interface unit to generate a physical address. Each core can be assigned to execute a thread, either in the same process address space or in a different process address space, and that execution will be simultaneous, limited only by bandwidth of the common parts of the bus interface unit.

Answer 3

Processor (CPU)The chip that is the 'brain' of the computer. The faster the processor, the better a computer will perform. The latest processors have multiple 'cores', meaning that in effect there are several processors on the same microchip, giving better performance.

A core does all the calculations which run the programs. The more processors and faster the speed, the faster your computer will run.

A core processor is one core that is in a single chip

A dual core processor is two processors that are combined into a single chip.

A quad core processor is four processors that are combined into a single chip.

A hex-core processor is six processors that are combined into a single chip.

A octa-core processor is eight processors that are combined into a single chip.

The speed of a processor is measured in gigahertz (GHz).

Answer 4

The individual executable unit of porcessor is called a core. There can be single/dual/quad cores in a single processor

Answer 5

As far as the Intel Core 2 they are simply talking about the number of actual CPU's on on chip, so if you have an Intel Core 2 then you have two physical CPU's on one chip.

Answer 6

The actual processor.
