Power of 4 core processor

Two semiconductor industrialists Intel and AMD continually improve the manufacturing technology of more efficient microprocessors. Most recently, 4-core processors appear with useful capabilities.

The advantage of many processor cores is that it can perform multiple tasks flexibly. Each single-core processor like Pentium, if you run multiple applications at the same time, for example, while editing video and running the virus scanner, the entire system will slow down and sometimes hang up. With a dual-core processor, things get better, but the 4-core chip technology also dramatically improves that situation. Thanks to the addition of more pulses, the computer accomplishes more tasks.

Operating systems from Windows 2000 to Vista can take advantage of four-core chips to build different workflows for applications that harness the power of individual processor core components. This process is similar to the Linux operating system.

However, currently only the advanced application software for graphics, video, business services and scientific research are designed to be able to exploit the advantages of 4-core processors.

In terms of specifications, Intel's 4-core Q6600 processor is made up of 4 cores handling each unit with 2.4GHz speed. Compared to the dual-core e6850 chip with 2 cores clocked at 3.0GHz, the processing speed of each computer using these processors may be similar, depending on the application software that is programmed to declare. all the power of the processor cores are fully utilized.
