Dual Core Processors

What is a Dual core prossesor?
Dual-core refers to a CPU that includes two complete execution cores per physical processorIt combines two processors and their caches and cache controllers onto a single integrated circuit(silicon chip).
What is Multitasking?
Multitasking is the ability of an operating system to run more than one program simultaneously, allowing the user to easily switch and share information between applications.

How do they work together?
Since each core has its own cache, the operating system has sufficient resources to handle intensive tasks in parallel, which provides a noticeable improvement to multitasking.
