If you've been sitting on a fence about whether to go dual-core, dither no more. The prices of dual-core processors have come way down in the past year, and performance has jumped. Here's a guide to ...

The benefits of dual-core will be obvious to builders who love to multitask. With a dual-processor system installed, it means there&'s a second processor core to share the load. For instance, if one ...

It's hard to overemphasize how far computers have come and how they have transformed just about every aspect of our lives. From rudimentary devices like toasters to cutting-edge devices like ...

A reader recently contacted us and asked a question worth answering in an article. How does Windows (and perhaps all OS's) take advantage of multiple cores? Alternatively, if this function is built ...

As embedded processors become more computationally capable, many new (and more advanced) algorithms can be ported, which in turn enable new applications. The most flexible architectures scale from low ...

NXPs new microcontroller MCX L series comes in two versions and aims at cutting energy consumption while boosting cyber security functionality and enabling always-on sensing. Early adoption is ...

The CPU, or Central Processing Unit, is a key component of your system that enables it to function. Whatever you see on your screen is processed by the CPU. It’s the core of your computer; you can ...

The Lenovo ThinkPad X100e thin and light business notebook has been shipping for a few months now. But while Lenovo promised that there would eventually be models with both single core and dual core ...

I'm pretty sure there are no dual-core 32-bit cpus. Pentium D's are 64-bit enabled, as are (obviously) Athlon64-X2's.

If your Device Manager shows multiple processors, first check the model of processors in your computer. Many modern processors are built-in with numerous Cores and Threads. For instance, if your PC ...
