Dual processor

Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-000351

A computer system configuration that incorporates two central processing units (CPUs) on a single motherboard. Each processor operates independently or in conjunction to execute tasks, thereby increasing the system's overall processing capability. This architecture is distinct from a single processor with multiple cores, as it involves two separate physical CPU packages.
