First Blog of Summer 2008
As noted in the textbook chapter, multi-core technology may not necessarily make applications run faster. Research real-life computing environments that are expected to benefit from multi-core chips and briefly explain why. Cite your academic sources and be sure to include your name in the comments.

I found this Article on AMD's Website I prefer AMD over Intel because I have had nothing but problems with Intel Chip Sets.

AMD Phenom™ X4 Quad-Core Processors
True quad-core performance for the way businesses multi-task today, and for the next-generation applications employees will need in the near future. Stable commercial AMD Phenom™ X4 quad-core processors offer industry-leading platform stability and longevity, investment protection, and the exceptional performance you expect from AMD. Plus, unique features for energy efficiency.

A multi-core processor is an intergrated circuit that has been attached in order to enhance the performance and to reduce power. It also more efficient in the processing of multiple tasks. Multi-cre circuits are plugged into the same socket. Because of this connection it makes them some what faster, nearly two times than that of a single core. Reference: SearcDataCenter.com. Definitions. Richard.
Multi-core chips provide more power, but make it harder for application developers to get their progams to work, since most programs are designed for 1 processor, but servers will be able to distribute their workloads more flexibly and efficiently.

multi-core processing has revolutionized the way embedded systems are made. Real-time operating systems (RTOSs) and general-purpose operating systems (GPOSs) on separate cores of a single multicore processor, thus creating systems that in the past need two or more hardware platforms to use. The benefits that come along with this revolution are cost, reduction in size and an increase in complexity.
