Dual Processors were long the drool-inducing thing of nerds. But anymore they're pretty common to come by. The latest move has been to go the route of Dual Cores. Is there a real difference? Does one setup perform better than the other? What exactly does all this mean, and does it apply to the everyday Joe?A terrific article at Puget Systems discusses just this topic. It explains things for the average consumer, while providing benchmarks and other tidbits that will be of interest to the bit-heads out there.
Quickly: DualCore means putting two processors on a single chip. It's cheaper since it only requires 1 slot on the motherboard, one chip, etc. The flip side is to have 2 processors, each taking their own space on a more expensive motherboard. The outcome? (Look away or click the link if you don't want to spoil the surprise.) The dual core systems that are becoming a standard in the computer industry are not only cheaper, they're also slightly faster. So it's a win-win for everyone!
