Dual core vs Octa core l what is processor?

Hello friends , nowadays all of us have a smartphone and laptops and we all know that there are processors inside the smartphone  laptops . But what is processor  of course it is known to all of us. So, let us know that what is a processor and different types of processors like Octa core and  dual core .

What is a processor ?

A processor is the basic component of a laptop or smartphone that  helps to run all functions and Soft wares , applications or games .If the clock speed of a processor would be higher then it would run the applications faster. Clock speed is the  rate at which a processor can complete  a processing cycle .

There are some applications or soft wares  that requires high CPU speed and the speed would not be high the Application or software will lag . Different soft ware requires different speeds for their smooth functioning.

Dual core Vs Octa core  

Recently the technology has developed a lot and in this pace various new processors had come and we often confuse to chose the best processor . So, here we would understand about different processors and their usage in very detail. Before  knowing about Different type of processors let us know  that what is a core.

What is a core ?

A core is simply a part or sub part of the processor .Core  does the function of running the  instruction  and calculation  for the application . A laptop having Dual core is called a dual core processor and another laptop having eight cores is called a octa core processor . The more you have  cores the  more the applications or soft wares would run faster according to their capability . Now let us know about the working of different  types of  processors like the dual core and octa core .

Simply ,  the number of cores means how many subsets are there of your processor . If  you have a processor with higher number of cores then you could do multitasking with it . If  you  think of a situation when you are playing a game , reading a article , recording screen and typing documents simultaneously. This type of multitasking  could be done by dual core processor also but  a quad core processor would be better here because all the works would be assigned  to the other four core.

Some common FAQs related to the processors 

Which is better processor quad core or octa-core?

The processor better for you depend on that fact  that  the applications  that you are running are capable of dividing the problems into multiple parts or not . If your application is capable of doing so then the more number of cores are better for you. Be that as it may, for most daily  assignments and multiple tasks there will not be a lot of contrast in execution from having more than two cores . You can securely purchase a dual core  processor over a quad core in the case  that you don't run any application that advantages from it.

Is a dual core processor good?

Generally speaking a dual core processor is perfect  to get things  done with good speed. Only when you're editing videos, rendering 3D stuff, planning houses, designing complex engineering stuff then, you may really need a quad core processor. If you have to do complex use such as gaming and rendering videos and editing then you would need a quad core processor .

Which Software Takes Advantage of the Multiple cores ?

Not all software  exploit numerous cores , certain soft wares require multiple cores .

It isn't so much that their modest or awful programming, making a product that exploits all the quantity of cores you have on your PC is incredibly troublesome and in some instances it just isn't possible. 

Fundamental Tasks 

As referenced previously, fundamental undertakings, for example, word altering, web perusing, video watching, talking and video conferencing don't take advantage of multi core CPUs. Notwithstanding in the event that you plan on utilizing these applications simultaneously: skype, web perusing, messing around, Youtube watching and that's just the beginning ( who does that? well me), at that point you would profit by a quad core processor yet the increment in execution isn't so extraordinary. I'm doing the entirety of that fine and dandy with a dual core  processor. 

Activity and 3D Modeling 

Your work process, applying impacts and displaying (continuously) with such soft ware will not profit much from having various centers or an excessive number of cores . The main thing you ought to be worried about is the clock speed. Out of this rundown, to the extent I am mindful just Revit and Invetor exploit more cores

Autocad 3D 

Revit 

Innovator 

Common 3D 

SolidWorks 

Maya 

3DS Max 

Blender 

Film 4D 

Rhinoceros 

Anyway with regards to delivering your task with any of the applications most importantly of them will profit by more cores. There will be a decline in delivering times. As referenced previously, delivering is like a numerical statement, the more minds you have, the quicker it will chop down the way toward discovering an answer. 

Video Editing 

Altering overall has consistently been a solitary strung assignment. There will not be a gigantic lift in your work process with any of the product appeared above in the event that you choose a dual core or a quad core or multiple  core , it's really the clock speed what will accelerate applying those impacts and the altering your recordings. 

Thus rendering  and video editing produce from a quad core processor and surprisingly a processor with 6 cores yet close to that . If  you have to  do multitasking and use complex soft wares  then  select a quad core  in a PC. 

PhotoShop and other picture altering applications won't see an increment in execution whether you choose to get a double center or a quad center or an octa core CPU. Applying impacts and performing activities advantage more from the clock speed than the quantity of core

There are a couple of impacts in Image Editing programming that do profit by numerous cores  however most activities are single strung so you can securely pick a double center as long as it has more base recurrence than a quad cores

By Music Production I don't mean itunes, windows media player or listening music from Youtube recordings. Music Production programming (that artists use to blend/make their tunes) do profit by different centers, the more tracks and VSTs you have on your altering programming (one for vocals, the leftover tracks for instruments, another for sounds impacts, and so forth), the more you will profit by various cores. 

Each channel or track can be doled out to a solitary center nonetheless if the base recurrence of each center can't stay aware of the requests of your VST and modules being utilized on each channel, at that point it isn't much helpful. Toward the end base recurrence is undeniably more significant than the quantity of cores, however in the event that you can get numerous cores with a comparative base recurrence or considerably in excess of a lower number of core  processor, at that point let it all out. It merits the increment in execution. 

Programming 

Programming overall doesn't profit by various cores by any means. The base recurrence is undeniably more essential to diminish accumulation times, dispatching your application and imitations quick. 

There is an occurrence where it very well may be helpful and that is: Virtualization. Be that as it may, just in the event that you plan on utilizing a few weighty applications on each VM you make. 

It is safe to say that you are better with a Quad Core over a Dual Core? For Basic Programming and advancement NO. For virtual machine testing YES. 

Gaming 

Game motors require synchronization, one action is followed  by another prior to moving towards the following action   Despite the fact that game sites   will profess to expand your presentation during gaming , it will not be that much. Typically the higher clock speed CPU will consistently perform better whatever number of cores  it has. However, you can generally mind your particular game site if something turns out to appear as something else. 

Conclusion

If you have to do complex works like rendering videos , editing videos , gaming then you require a processor with multiple cores and if you do only fundamental tasks and some basic soft wares then a dual core processor would be better for you.

So, this was the info related to Processors .
