Especially this FIRST part:
"A *multi-core processor* is a single computing
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computing> component . . ."
So, it is a SINGLE component. To me, CPUs means having more than one
CPU component, such as dual CPUs or even quad CPUs which used to be
fairly common.
I have a single CPU computer. It has 4 cores but a single CPU. I hope
to upgrade one day to a 8 core CPU. I'll still have a single CPU
component installed tho.
This is getting really funny. ROFL You can tell when the list is
getting slow when we start parsing each word and each words meaning. ;-)
