ITPEC IP April 2020 — Question 12 of 100
A dual-core processor contains two processing cores in one processor package and can execute separate instruction streams concurrently. The operating system can schedule different tasks or threads on the two cores.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- installing two bootable operating systems is dual boot
- connecting two displays is a multi-monitor configuration
- accessing two memory modules concurrently describes dual-channel memory
Key rule: The core count identifies independent processing units within a CPU package; two cores provide hardware capacity for parallel execution.
