Something you should know before buying a processor.

Technology has been revolutionizing day by day and whenever we go the market to buy something new or upgrade PCz it becomes very confusing of what to choose from the vast range of the same product. One of the products is Processor. I have been upgrading my pc like after every 2 years and every time it becomes a hassle. So what we should know about processors is that what processor can do and what is inside them.

Old processors where just plain processors. Data shoved in, processed and comes out well the new processors do the same with much more power. The actual catch is in the cores of the processor. Now a day’s processors are 2, 3, 5, 7 cores and cores are kind of like 2, 3, 5, 7 units which make up a processor, 2 core has 2 units and likewise. Most of the people think that more cores mean double the speed like 2.4 GHz duel core means 4.8 GHz speed. Well that’s the catch; whatever is written on the box like 2.4 GHz is actually 2.4 GHz. The only thing cores do is that divides the data and send it to the cores or units to process and bcs of more cores the same 2.4 GHz can process thing with more speed but it cannot process anything more than its specified speed.

So please do not be mistaken by cores it’s just processing things faster not doubling the quantity.
