Abstract: The article discusses how multicore computing can multiply processing power in a lesser energy consumption. It states that microchip manufacturers are using the additional transistors theory predicted by Moore's Law which requires additional transistor to increase the number of processors inside a chip instead of making individual processors run faster. This multiple core is believed to deliver the same amount of processing power that a high-speed single-core chips offered in a lesser electricity consumption. Meanwhile, it notes that in order to solve one problem in producing the chips which is parallelism, manufacturers like Intel Corp. have recalled those experts of supercomputing in 1980.
