Go up one level in this thread

Hello Gian Carlo !

Sorry-but a dual-core CPU don't means a dual CPU.
Intel's technology(named Dothan)-for example-they place 2 cores together in one
Central Processing Unit(CPU).The important thing to remember is that these two
cores will use the same Level1 and Level 2 cache.The(small) advantage when using
this architecture is these is no cache coherency.This means when one is running
an instruction (calculation) the other core will always be able to acces the
most recent variable.
All the best !
