Week 6: Clear

This week I'm going to describe what a dual-core processor does and how it works. A dual-core processor is just want it says, two separate processor cores working as one. This breakthrough technology allows your computer to work MUCH more efficiently than a computer with a single chip of the same speed. This processor, however, is different than a multi-core processor, a single chip with two+ separate processors. This processor doesn't necessarily double the processing speed, rather it makes multi-tasking an absolute breeze. You can run tons of programs at once with this processor without having many drawbacks.

From this description I'm pretty sure it's self-explanatory on how this is useful in a business setting. For example, if you are running a dual-core processor and your boss demands 4 process-intensive things (i.e. download a company PowerPoint, render all the photos and videos for the meeting, research all relevant information about your competitor and do it while scanning the computer for viruses and spyware) you will have nothing to worry about. This type of processor is nearly a requirement for anyone needing to multi-task and get more than one thing done at a time.

Here is a website with some extremely descriptive information on dual-processors:
