Dual Core Processor Busses
Dual-core processors face a
disadvantage if they both share
one Front Side Bus.
This highlights the advantages
of the HyperTransport bus,
where bandwidth is not shared between CPUs.
A dual core processor is part of a category called multi-core processors. These computer processors have more than one independent processor on the chip or package. In the case of dual core processor, the entire chip has two independent computer processors that can work together to increase total computer performance. For non technical consumers, dual core processors can be thought of as having two separate computer chips combined.
