Comparative Analysis of Single-Core and Multi-Core Systems

Overall performance of computer systems are better investigated and evaluated when its various components are considered, components such as the hardware, software and firmware. The comparative analysis of single-core and multi-core systems was carried out using Intel Pentium G640T 2.4GHz dualcore, Intel Pentium IV 2.4GHz single-core and Intel Pentium IV 2.8GHz single-core systems. The approach method was using hi-tech benchmarking and stress testing software(s) to examine systems' CPU and RAM for performance and stability. In all the tests, the components of dual-core had better rating when compared with single-core components; GFLOP result, and execution time for various processes rank G640T 2.4GHz dual-core above Pentium IV 2.4GHz and 2.8GHz single-core respectively.
