http://live.pirillo.com/ - What is a dual-core processor?

Essentially, dual-core is two processor chips on one processor, which allows you to have multiple threads of execution.

There are dual, quad, and octo cores out there. Which one do you have, and do you have any recommendations?

  • Chris... join me at debycon ok OK

  • @rahnyc4 the i3s and some i5s and some i7s are dual cores. i'm have a pentium d 945 and that is outdated for gaming but for web surfing, media and misc use, it does fine. i have to disagree. in truth i play games on an athlon II 450 (x3, 3.2ghz) and i've seen it peak a couple times while recoding video. when you generalize, you fail to keep in mind the most important thing about a cpu.... the architexture. that's what makes cpus now, not just the clock and cores. why do people thumb up this crap

  • Is it worth it using a dual core to run splinter cell conviction with a geforce G100?

  • @rahnyc4 this video was posted in 07....

  • @rahnyc4 This video was made in 2007.

  • @TheMrnerdgeek i has 6 cores
