This Is What Dual, Quad, Hexa, Octa And Deca Core Mean

Processors are named according to their numbers
of complete independent units known as cores.

Dual as you already know means double or two,
quad means four so same thing is applicable with
processors. Dual core processors are processors
made up of two cores. Quad core processors are
made up of 4 cores and so on. So once the number
of cores is high, the performance and task handling
will be more faster.

Let imagine, a work to be carried out by four mens
of Group A and the same work to be carried out
again by 8 mens of Group B. This already clearly
shows that Group B will finish the work before
Group A finish their’s. Same thing is applicable to
cores, when you have deca-core processor (10
cores), task handling will be faster than when
carried out with hexa core processor (6 cores).
