A core in the processor is a single integrated circuit, Multi-core processors with two or more processing units, called cores, each core reads and executes program instructions. Instructions are normal, CPU instructions see the Example below
Ex:- Cut, Copy,Video Editing,Gaming,Calculation and Programming(HTML5,Java Script …etc)
one processor can execute instructions on different cores at the same time, increasing the speed of programs that support multithreading or processes. other computers are similar. The multi-core processors currently used in almost all personal computers, servers and also mobile phones
What does it mean to have single cores in a processor?
Single Core in processor means it has work as a one CPU for better understanding if you need to copy four files from one place to another place for copying four files CPU take time 8sec see given four files 1,2,3 and 4 first copy 1 file time taken 1 sec then time taken to reach location is 1sec so total time for 1 file is 2 sec Then go for 2 file time taken 2 sec if you need to copy 4 files ,attempt four times time taken 8sec because processor have single core.
What does dual core Processor Mean?
Dual core CPU means the processor has two cores, it has two physical cores in single CPU(Processor). if you need to copy four files from one place to another place for copying four files one dual core CPU take time 4sec see given four files 1,2,3 and 4 first copy 1 file and 2 file time takes 1 sec then time takes to reach the location is1sec so total time for 1 and 2 files is 2 sec in a single attempt and two cores working simultaneously. time taken for another two files is also 2sec so total time for completing task is 4sec with two attempts because processor has two cores.
What does Quad core Processor Mean
Quad core CPU means the processor has four cores, it has four physical cores in a single CPU(processor). For example, If you need to copy four files from one place to another place quad core CPU time takes 2 sec Four files copy at a time with four cores in one attempt.
What is 6 core Processor
Hexa core processor means the CPU have six cores, it has six physical cores in a single processor. For example, if you need to copy four files from one place to another place comparatively Hexa core processor is faster than quad-core processor because cores in a processor share the work load time taken for copying four files is 0.8 sec.
What is an 8 core Processor
Octa core processor means the processor have eight cores, it has eight physical cores in a sinlge CPU. For example you need to copy four files from one place to another place time taken for copying these files is 0.5 sec because eight core work on four files so they share the workload comparatively with quadcore processor, octa core processor take time reduced to half
