Dual-core processor

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 a 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.

One of the biggest advantages of having a dual core processor is the computer’s ability to perform thread level parallelism. A thread is a task that a computer puts resources to run.
