Detailed explanation-1: -These days, most new PCs have dual-core central processors (CPU). That’s one chip with two complete microprocessors on it, both sharing one path to memory and peripherals.
Detailed explanation-2: -The processor in a personal computer or embedded in small devices is often called a microprocessor. That term means that the processor’s elements are contained in a single IC chip. Some computers will operate using a multi-core processor-a chip containing more than one CPU.
