Introduction
• Multi-core processors represent a major evolution in
computing technology.

• They are several mostly independent cores which


work together in parallel

•performance and productivity benefits beyond the


capabilities of today’s single-core processors.
What do you mean by Multi core?
•A multi-core microprocessor is one which combines two
or more independent processors into a single package,
often a single integrated circuit.
A Multi-core computing
• A dual-core device
contains only two
independent
microprocessors.
If multi means two or more, what types are there?
A dual-core A quad-core
processor processor contains
contains two four cores.
cores.
History
•The first commercial dual core processor was IBM's
Power 4 processor for it's RISC(Reduced Instruction
Set Computing) servers in 2001.

•The first dual core processor for home use was


Intel's Pentium Processor Extreme Edition 840,
released in early April 2005.

•Less than two weeks later AMD brought their


Opteron 800 Series and Athlon 64 X2 processors to
market.

Performance Analysis
Advantages
•Multi-tasking productivity

• it will work faster for certain programs

•PC security

•Cool and quiet

•The signals between different CPUs travel shorter


distances
Disadvantages

•They do not work at twice the speed as a normal


processor. They get only 60-80% more speed.

•The speed that the computer works at depends on


what the user is doing with it.

•They cost more than single core processors.


Applications

• Video editing
• Encoding .
• 3D gaming.
• Powerful graphics solution
• Optimized productivity titles, such as
AVG’s(average Vector Global Speedup),
virus-scanning software.
Future aspect

Next-generation software applications will


require the performance capacity provided by
multi-core processors. Software destined to
break barriers in the user experience, like as

• Voice recognition
• Artificial intelligence (AI)

That will be only possible by multi-core processors
