PROCESSORS

Question 1

Quad core processor

Answer 1

a type of CPU that contains four individual processing cores within a single physical chip.

Each processing core can independently execute instructions, allowing the CPU to perform multiple tasks simultaneously, improving overall performance and speed.

Used in high-performance computers for tasks that require a lot of processing power

Question 2

Single core processor

Answer 2

With single core on a chip, running a single thread or single process at a time.

Impossible to achieve performance gain, like increase in clock rate, number of transistors, CPU cache sizes or add execution units.

Question 3

Dual core processor

Answer 3

A CPU with 2 processors on a single chip. Each processor has its own cache and controller, enables it to perform as efficiently as a single processor.

2 core are linked together, operations are performed faster than single core.
