Multicore processor

In the last few years, multi-core CPUs have become a standard component in nearly all sorts of computers – not only servers and high-end workstations but also desktop and laptop PCs for consumers and even game consoles nowadays usually come with CPUs with more than one core. This development is not surprising; already in 1965 Gordon Moore predicted that the number of transistors that can be cost-effectively built onto integrated circuits were going to double every year WA. In 1975, Moore corrected that assumption to a period of two years; nowadays this period is frequently assumed to be 18 months).
