Detailed explanation-1: -Many modern CPUs are dual (two) or quad (four) core processors. This provides vastly superior processing power compared to CPUs with a single core. Processor performance can be affected by clock speed, cache size and the number of cores the processor has.
Detailed explanation-2: -Basically, having a high clock speed but just one or two cores means your computer will be able to load and interact with a single application quickly. Conversely, having more processor cores, but a slower clock speed means your computer can work with more applications at a time, but each may run a little slower.
Detailed explanation-3: -CPUs with multiple cores have more power to run multiple programs at the same time. However, doubling the number of cores will not simply double a computer’s speed. CPU cores have to communicate with each other through channels and this uses up some of the extra speed.
Detailed explanation-4: -In general, a higher clock speed means a faster CPU. However, many other factors come into play. Your CPU processes many instructions (low-level calculations like arithmetic) from different programs every second. The clock speed measures the number of cycles your CPU executes per second, measured in GHz (gigahertz).
Detailed explanation-5: -Cores Number. CPUs have processing units known as cores. Clock Speed. The processor’s clock speed, or clock rate, shows how fast the CPU can run. Clock Cycle. Cache Size. Bandwidth. Word Length. Extreme Temperatures. Processor Materials. More items •15-Nov-2022
