Multi-Core Processor is a single computing board with two or more independent actual processors, which are called cores, that read and execute program instructions. Currently there are three types of multi-core processors: dual-core, quad core, and hexa-core. The dual-core processors has 2 processors, the quad-core has 4 processors, and the hexa-core has 6 processors. Multi-core processors are able to process information faster than single-core processors, due to the ability for the processors to parse out the computer requests. In a multi-core processor each core handles execution commands simultaneously to improve efficiency, just as two people are better than one when doing a task. Specifically when one is executing a command from the user, such as opening up a program or editing a photo, the other can be accessing the system bus, helping manage the memory storage in the background, or remaining idle until the user requests to open more programs or need another action item from the computer. Having this ability for multi-core processors will allow the user to open multiple programs with little or no slow down on the computer, since the workload on the processor is shared out. As technology continues to grow, the multi-core processor will be the standard and will me mandatory to running the next generation software.
