core vs. processor

[edit]

Hello, in the article X86-64 you changed the words "core" to "processor". A processor consists of more than just a core. As I understand it, in these centences core was meant and not processor, because the difference lies in the core and not the other parts of the whole processor. --DrSeehas (talk) 07:01, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In the instances I replaced, the word "core" (cf. "core instructions", "Core architecture") was confusing, and "processor" was intended. A "processor core" is a single processor, specifically in a system that has or can support more than one "processor core". A processor core is part of a processor package, a hardware units that is usually interchangeable and sits in a socket. What you are thinking of is recent (and confusing) parlance that replaces "processor" with "core" that came about when putting multiple processor cores in a single die package became available in popular processor (see, not core) architectures such as x86. I have reviewed (again) every use of "processor" and "core" on that page, and I disagree with you heartily. In fact, the page should be reviewed again, and most remaining references to "core" in the sense of "processor core" should probably be removed as most of them superficially appear to be irrelevant to the article altogether. --JeR (talk) 18:00, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
