Computersight -

Computer nowadays is a necessity unlike before that only rich people can exploit the great advantage in using such amazing tools. We can see households that have their own personal computer.

As time goes by, from the very first emergence of computer, it continues to develop and evolve, from simple computational processes to much complex maneuvers. We use computers before in encoding or doing clerical works and some minor mathematical jobs. Now we use it in playing games that are highly interactive, design buildings, control machine processes, etc.

The present developments have made man’s work a lot easier and less physical. Advancement in computers systems such as in programs or software and hardware like processors, motherboards, memories, etc. has never been interrupted to develop and it definitely continues to grow. Due to this, man usually thinks that once a new technology in hardware systems or software comes out in the market it should be the best.

Last two to three yeas ago came into sight the so-called dual core processors. This so-called processor, as we know it, is the heart of the computer, it generally governs how your computer handles activities, and it usually dictates how great your computer is.

Dual core processors, unlike, single core processors, its predecessor, can handle multiple tasks or programs at the same time. For example, let’s say, you are playing a three-dimensional (3D) game, and before that, you are designing a house using a Computer Aided Design Software(CAD) and playing songs with another multimedia player program, since you want to relax a bit, you hide the CAD program and the media player, still running, you played the said 3D game. Your computer works smoothly since you have a dual core processor and you will not experience hang-ups.

Unlike its predecessor, the single core processor that we used before, once you open up multiple programs, the computer typically slows down and you will encounter hang-ups.

In the market, at present, Dual Core processors are at large and some multiple – core processors also. Even the single core processor is also in circulation. We come to know that dual core processors are much faster than the single core processor and this is not always the case. There are other prototypes of the single core processors also with good computing power.

Here is a case that you should judge:

Both of the computers have equal RAM memory and same Video Card memory, their difference is just their Processors. Now, say, you are using a program that uses 3.8 gigahertz of processing power, do you think that Computer A will be able to tackle this program? Will it not encounter a hang-up? One of the two Computer A’s core only have a 2.4 gigahertz of processing power less to the program’s required processing power and this will surely lead to a hang-up. Computer B, though it is only a single processor, will be able to handle such program. Computer A’s advantage is only that it can handle multiple tasks but with programs that are less of each core’s processing power.

To sum it all up, it is you, with your needs, should decide on which type of processor you should use.
