What the Core?

Here is a very good explanation on the difference between  Dual Core 1.7 GHz and Quad Core 1.4 GHz.



Question:

What is the advantage for both of the processor - Dual Core 1.7 GHz and Quad Core 1.4 GHz?

Answer:

Let's say 2 nos of Seng Yong and 4 nos of Kar Fye compete in an essay copycat contest.

Seng Yong can copy 1.7 sentence per second while Kar Fye can copy 1.4 sentence per second.

After a minute, 2 nos of Seng Yong copies 204 sentences and 4 nos of Kar Fye copes 336 sentences.

It's obvious that 4 nos of Kar Fye is working faster than 2 nos of Seng Yong.

However during lunchtime, Seng Yong needs to eat 1.7 bowl of rice while Kar Fye needs to eat 1.4 bowl of rice.

2 nos of Seng Yong only eat 3.4 bowls but 4 nos of Kar Fye eat 5.6 bowls.

Processor's speed is sentence copying speed and power consumption is bowls of rice they eat.

Conclusion: The more core you have, the more power it consumes; The higher your processor's speed, the faster your handphone / computer's speed. Well, you know what I mean.
