Dual Core Computer Processors: Luxury Or Necessity?

Most speak must know to & 39; treatment of computer & 39; industry is allowed to dual-core processors. But what they actually benefit, and it is a value in terms of the prices?
All processors have a core. A kernel memory, often under the name cache, or L1, L2, L3, depending on the proximity, it is up to the base, and the heart itself, and some other products of daily needs. The kernel is the & quot; brain & quot; he takes all the important calculations that are necessary to see the different things computer.
Computer carrots, more and more in speed, and faster and faster. The producers were in a race in the chip with the highest possible speed, measured in GHz. A surprise is that despite this increase the speed d & 39; clock, the actual speed of programs & 39; n is not increased.
As modern programs do much more use of heavy & 39; other parts such as memory, and there are often many rotate at the same time a different approach was required.
Dual processors were the answer.
By two & quot; brain & quot; the parties in the CPU, you can use two programs on two cores without having to share it with each other. L & 39; effect of this is that the & 39; implementation of two or more programs, the CPU can now much more in its entirety.
The disadvantage in their subject that is perhaps the most disappointing games.
Unlike l & 39; multitasking environment, which are accustomed to a computer at home or office, games, to the brute-force d & 39; powerful processor to help them Along. Up to this & 39;, & 39, there is no technology to use two processors, such as the ability to distribute tasks at two cores. The most games does not improve & 39, is not compatible with this new technology.
As with the processors in the past, & 39; integration of dual-core processors is dominated by two big guys, Intel and AMD.
Intel offers two processors in its product range, including processor, just with different speeds. The low-price Pentium D processors comes in the vicinity of $ 250. This award is given how much you should pay to the unique high-end processor.
The Pentium D based on the same core how easy it is to core colleagues, only two of them between & 39 l & 39; interior. The increase in performance is quite remarkable, and that makes & 39; presence in the vicinity of multitasking.
The AMD Athlon X2 is & 39; offer & 39; AMD in the market dual core. In contrast to the Pentium D its low price model is at least $ 400th This & 39; n is not expensive compared to the transformers, as his FX series, more than $ 1000, as compared to Intel c & 39, is expensive.
It is also on the same basis as its cousins the only basis and offers the same performance increases.
The price of & 39; AMD surprised. D & 39; become a society is known for its low cost, high-performance processors, was a success. The upper part of the Pentium D model, that of AMD in at least the cheapest model.
The price may be justified if the AMD have indeed an important impetus performance, but it is not l & 39;.
For first time since a long time, I think I would be prepared to return to an Intel processor. Well, that my preference & 39; n is not for dual-core, if I had to change or do I need to definitely go straight for Pentium D.
And finally, how can you compare with it from the traditional day of processing ?
Considering the performance of the processors were not yet I want to make changes. Dual core & 39 n was not long enough to produce at low cost, a little more about the models. The power of & 39; AMD Athlon 64 3000 + more the fact that for my needs in the computer science and c & 39; is that I would like to stay there for the moment & amp , 39;.
So for those costs for the next something for their desktop computers and the price & 39; n is not a problem that would be the best choice, but go & 39; lower end of the Pentium D.
