Multi-Core Processors - Making the Move to Quad-Core and Beyond

Abstract

One constant in computing is that the world’s hunger for faster performance isnever satisfied for which we have ever evolving processor which is what the best gift by digital electronics. Today these performance demands are not just for speed, but also for smaller, more powerfulmobile devices, longer battery life, quieter desktop PCs, and in the enterprisebetterprice/performance per watt and lower cooling costs. People want improvements inproductivity, security, multitasking (running multiple applications simultaneously onyour computer), data protection, game performance, many other capabilities and convenience being the last factor. Microprocessors are complex in many ways, not least in the complicated interrelationships between the chip, software, operating systems, development tools, available talent, and thirdparty support. Any one of these without the others is only a partial solution. All of them taken together provide a thriving ecosystem where innovation, engineering, and product design can flourish. But the ceaseless efforts by people in digital electronics have brought humanity in an era where multitasks are are efficiently carried out in a blink of eye. This paper deals with the description of basic operation and functions of three classes of hardware platforms, advantages, challenges of multi-core processing along with futuristic quad-core processors, increased processor performance, energy efficiency and capabilities. An attempt to combine the two best qualities of two processors has been made in this paper: Intel Core i7 processor's high-performance and the Intel Atom processor's low-power implementations.
