In reviewing CPU and server benchmarks, you’ve undoubtedly noticed that testing covers both single-core and multi-core performance. Here’s the difference. In terms of raw performance, both are equally ...

Although computers with quad-core processors are typically faster than single-core models, the difference in speed depends on a number of factors. On a very busy system and under ideal conditions, a ...

Software development for embedded multi-core processors is considered to require a large expenditure and to be difficult. Researchers have now developed a new integrated tool chain to facilitate ...

Since 2005, computer CPU chip makers have increasingly adopted the use of multiple cores to increase performance. Each core runs a separate computing task, so the computer gets more work done. Before ...

We have had multi-core processors in our PCs for over a decade, and today they are considered the norm. At first it was dual-core, then quad-core, and today companies like Intel and AMD offer high end ...

Since many transcoding tools are still single-core, single-processor based, common wisdom has been to stay away from the added expense of multi-core machines and instead use numerous lower-priced ...

Buying multicore servers raises two new questions for enterprises: How do you avoid punitive software licensing, and which applications need multicore processors? Intel, Advanced Micro Devices and ...
