- Dual Core Processing: Over-simplified, demystified and explained
One of the most talked about topics in the cpu industry at the moment would definitely be that of dual core processors. For those of you who haven't yet spent much time reading up on the potential these new type of processors could bring to end users, Short-Media have gone into plenty of detail behind the technology in a very easy to understand fashion. Basically, we're looking at the next step up from Intel's hyper-threading, more of the same but even more efficiently. A very interesting insight to the latest dual core tech.
Why the shift to dual core and how will this impact the gigahertz performance race? Who or what will dual core processing benefit and will it be sought after by enthusiasts or left buried deep inside the dark recesses of server rooms?
The broad brush paints a processor as a device that executes a series of instructions to tell it what to do which, in turn, tells everything else it interacts with what to do. The faster it can do this the better. "Faster" can be directly related to clock speed but don't make the mistake of thinking that INTEL's higher clock speeds make it "faster" than AMD.
