PROCESSORS

Question 1

Quad core processor

Answer 1

Quad-core = 4 cores

4 cores work at the same time

Work gets done faster

Better speed & performance

Used in powerful computers

Question 2

Single core processor

Answer 2

One core on one chip

Does one task at a time

The performance cannot be enhanced by increasing clock speed, adding more transistors, enlarging the CPU cache, or adding execution units.

Question 3

Dual core processor

Answer 3

Two cores on one chip

Each processor has its own cache and controller.

Functions efficiently like a single processor.

Linked cores boost speed over single-core CPUs.

Question 4

Multi Core Processor

Answer 4

has multiple independent cores in one chip, each acting as a separate CPU.

Question 5

BENEFITS/ How a Multi-Core Processor Works:

Answer 5

Many processors work together

Tasks are shared equally

Runs many apps smoothly

Shared cache and memory bus

Equal memory and I/O access

Lower clock speeds reduce heat and power use.
