You must have seen many dedicated server provider advertise their server as Dual Core servers but many of us don’t know what exactly are these Dual Core processors. Chip manufacturer like AMD and Intel have started implementing this dual core technology for their latest series of processors.
‘Dual Core processors’ as the name suggest are special type of processors having 2 processors clubbed together forming a single processor which will offer you optimum performance. Its a advance technology used for building processors which are capable of providing twice computing power as compare to a single processor.
In traditional single processor based computers every application that you were running on your computer was created as a process which was assigned with one thread of space inside your CPU using this advance dual-core technology each processor works independently thus work load is divided into two parts so you can have more application running at the given point of time and all applications will work smoothly without affecting server performance.
A dual-core processor would be best option if you are using it on your webserver as your webservers send out webpages to all requesting visitors so using dual-core processor you can provide each visitor an individual thread which will get distributed on these two inbuilt processors ,thus there wont be much load on your dedicated server and will render webpages much faster.
Dual-Core Processor Dedicated Server
When you check for system configuration Dual core processors are shown-up in most operating systems (Windows, Linux) as two possessors. If your OS is licensed by “per processor” it can pose as a problem but its nothing to worry about….
