Quad-core basic equipment and its importance for high-end users

With each update of the computer processor, the techno savvies experience a faster processing and better performance. After that the team of dual-core, quad-core team is a revolution in the field of PC processors. Considered a part of the family of multi-core processors, quad-core teams have shown a significant increase in the performance of the team and doubt is no that is much faster than its previous generation processor. The faster performance of the new age processor is because of the algorithms used in programmes and depends on the type of programmes.

Wonderful performance:

When it comes to capacity multitasking and parallel programming, performance of quad-core team is simply excellent. From high-end video game available, Hardware virtualization, transcoding of audio and folding data, video and photo editing, recognition of voice, processing, 3D and data folding mechanism, can get faster performance on quad-core computers. It is possible to run the maximum amount of virtual machines with multiple processing threads, the number depends on although the space of memory available on the computer. You can work with virtual studio in XP or XP virtual machine. The specialty of quad-core team is its multi-tasking performance.

The misconception:

Many people believe that the speed of the quad-core team is four times as the single processor computer. The concept is not completely wrong, the processor can speed up the processing of only those programs that are specifically designed to run on the computer of quad-core. In these programs, codes are written in such a way that it allows the processor to perform four different tasks simultaneously. The MPM team quad-core processor

Comparison of two models of family of quad-core:

Intel and AMD are two brands popular quad-core computers. Kentsfield is the first of its kind by intel and also known as core 2 extreme quad - core QX6700. Conroe or Core 2 extreme X 6800 is his version faster and more advanced. The latest microarchitecture of 'Core' is the basis of these teams. Apart from being low-power, the latest generations of these teams provide high performance. Excellence in performance can be seen in fields such as the creation of digital content, actuarial science, engineering analysis, CAD and financial applications. Ideally, these teams are the best for users that require highly accurate scientific calculation. The standard commercial version of teams of quad - core Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 is.

The AMD quad-core teams are based on an innovative technology i.e Silicon on insulator process. Basically, teams are based on a process of 65 mn. The fastest transistor is a unique feature of the equipment that reduces wasted heat and power. AMD teams has function 'Improved now power' that is added to the capacity of the energy saving device. It allows run each core of the team at different speeds or deactivate any of nucleus for greater energy savings. The improved "Crossbar Switch' another useful feature of the computer that allows the user access to different parts of the nuclei simultaneously." For speeds of 'Hyper Transport' much faster, AMD has developed its team of quad-core with integrated memory controller and the most recent 'direct connect architecture 2.0'.

Quad-core computers are basically designed for high end users and not for general purpose use. Programming parallel, complex algorithm and multiple subprocesamiento programs can be made easily with this processor high-end. Quad-core equipment demand will increase significantly in the near future as the programming of complex coding is increasing in all fields.
