What does Quad Core Mean? Is That 4 Processors?
-
My question is on Intel's New Quad Core Processor Technology This Quad Core Means - 4 CPU? And if there is not 4 CPU(Processor) Then How it is Quad Core It is same applicable for Core 2 Duo? Actually what are this Terminology Means? :)

Hi Pentium is a technology as Core is both being produced by Intel. P1,P2...P4 are the series of advancemnts as Core and Core2 are. So far as Solo, Duo and Quad is concerned they are the number of procesing elemnts(CPU) present based on Core technology.
Spread wat u Know!

Quad Core means four CPU cores on a single die. I believe that AMD's quad-core CPUs are truly four independent cores, where Intel's are actually two dual-cores. AMD claims their's is better. This all happened last year, and I haven't really been paying attention to this stuff since just before the hardware actually hit the street.

It's four processors on one chip. Hopefully, I get my hands on one soon :-D

In theory it is, in practice you need a 4 threaded app with heavy cross thread communications to realize the benefit. At the same time, Conroe is performing enough better than Phenom that it doesn't matter. They were roughly equal on a per clock basis but Phenom took a 10% hit due to a hardware bug (revision with the fix eta a few months) and Conroe will run at significantly higher clockspeeds.
Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop. -- Matthew Faithfull

Would there be a benefit as far as Visual Studio is concerned? That's the only thing I really do on the box anymore. I used to play games, but I got bored with 'em...

That I wonder, if VS would break up different threads, such as during compiling, and delegating them to the different cores to speed up builds. I'm guessing a faster harddrive, such as a 10K rpm might help, too. Until I get cash for a better machine, I can only wonder.

As far as I know MSBuild is already parralised (I think that's spelt correctly) so as long as the dependencies allow it then it should be able to utilitise all the cores it can on the processor. [Maybe I've got this wrong and it's for the next version of MSBuild but I'm pretty sure it's already the case]

may I suggest parallelized as in this article[^], a single r for sure. BTW I was surprised by spelt, very British according to my dictionary; actually it said Americans would use spelled; however it does not know a thing about parallelization... :)

I see, that is after I told Google's satellite to zoom out a bit ;)

The default value in Visual C++ 2005 is "2".
[Tools] | [Options]:
[Projects and Solutions] -> [Build and Run]:
maximum number of parallel project builds.

I guess so. Mine is Visual Studio 2005. The [tools] | [options] are global settings.
