What is multi-core architecture?
Explained most simply, a dual-core processor entails silicon design engineers placing two Intel® Pentium® processor “execution cores,” or computational engines, within a single processor. This dual-core processor plugs directly into a single processor socket, but the operating system perceives each of its execution cores as a discrete logical processor, with all the associated execution resources. Future versions of Intels multi-core architecture processors will have more than two execution cores.
