the difference between dual core vs quad core

Bryan has given a good detailed answer. However just to stress on the point that 4 cores are definitely better 2 cores but it depends on what you use the tablet for. If you are using your tablet for watching, videos, playing music and checking emails and stuff, just dual core is more than enough. If you are an enthusiastic gamer or a photographer who extensively use your tablet for graphic intensive multimedia applications, then quad core is the one to go. Remember, choose based on your requirements. Quad core will cost you extra bucks. So you could save up on that if your requirements are not that of a quad core one.

A multi-core chip can execute multiple instructions at the same time. Dual cores have two cores, and quad cores have four. All the cores are on the same chip though. So, they share the same memory, and data path to the motherboard. So, a quad core chip may be able to execute the instructions four times faster, but that doesn't mean it can receive instructions from ram four times faster. Also, the faster a CPU is, the hotter it gets. Just because the CPU is a quad core doesn't mean it was set to run at the same gigahertz. Consider a manufacturer that wants to sell a 4 gigahertz chip, but the core keeps melting. One could sell a Quad core chip with each core set to 1 or 2 gigahertz and get increased performance, but still be running each core much slower. Therefore the chip no longer melts. Software has to be rewritten to take full advantage of multi-core processors. The operating system might provide a small automatic increase in speed, but you won't see a 4X increase in performance simply by switching to a quad core. Even if the software is rewritten it might not be 2X, or 4X faster because now the program may have additional instructions added for the sake of figuring out which core is going to access each part of the program. Got this from a google search.....

I have this quad core processor. Mine says the same. The 45Nm is the technology used to produce the microchip architecture. (All the super tiny circuits on the chip.) 12MB Cache is a better processor memory. I have very good luck with mine. It plays all the FPS games I have and some MMO games like MechWarrior online smoothly.

Ah, I see what you're saying, the Technical Description says Two Dual Core. But the title says Two Quad Core, and the RAM, gfx card, and HD all correspond to the current Mac Pro. Very confusing - I'm sending more e-mails to customer service.

It is the Intel Core i7-4810mq quad core processor. The four cores can handle up to eight threads. Each core offers a base speed of 2.8GHz but can increase clock rates with Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz. I hope his helps!

Because this one has hardware compression whereas the other one relies on CPU compression. Check the requirements: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GB RAM

Any core 2, either duo or quad, is capable of 32 or 64 bit operation. The settings are in the bios at start-up. Default setting is 32 bit.

I don't believe so.........the motherboard will support certain Core 2 Duo CPUs but not Quad Core CPUs.

This system comes with 2 Quad core cpu's for a total of 8 cores. Any other questions, please call our customer service department at 718-975-0609 Monday-Friday 10am-6pm EST. We will get you on the phone with one of our highly skilled technicians. Best, Jasmine iCompNY

Its is a quad core. One processor that has 4 cores.http://ark.intel.com/products/75117/Intel-Core-i7-4700MQ-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_40-GHz

AMD A4-5000 1.50 GHz Quad-core (Cache 2 MB) What does this mean to you? check this site http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php for comparing different CPU's by speed, price, and rank (also has value number which is speed/$ which measure performance per dollar basically)

Yes, it is a quad core and it's should be able to handle both the CPU and Video Card with no problem.

if the CPU is with QM that is Quad Core. Rest all ate Dual core. QM processors are only available in 17R Special Edition and some High end XPS systems.

This comes stocked with a duo-core processor but has the possiblities of being a quad or higher if you order off of the iBuyPower website. You can custom your setup on their website and get better customer service and a better product with more deals to make it cheaper and easy right out of the box. I'm actually responding on my version of this and it works like you wouldn't believe. Great product and great deals to be had.

Juan, when you're looking at CPU's, before making any decision think about what are your main uses for a tablet or any other computerized device. A cpu clocked at 1.2Ghz but with 4 cores would be better at multitasking compared to a 1.6Ghz dual core (2 cores) if you do lots of school work, or browse trough many applications at once, or even edit pictures and video then get a CPU with the most cores as possible. higher clockspeeds until now are good for gaming and loading times. Make your decision based on your needs, you can always do more research on your own. Good luck :)

I personally would go with the amd quad core because its faster and I've had it for about 3 months now and it is really worth it

to find out right click on your computer then go into advanced settings then click on processors. I have a Quad core one.

Is that the one i have? It has, Intel B950 processor. Don't see anything about dual core but it seems pretty fast. :-)
