What is Core: Definition and 484 Discussions

Intel Core are streamlined midrange consumer, workstation and enthusiast computers central processing units (CPU) marketed by Intel Corporation. These processors displaced the existing mid- to high-end Pentium processors at the time of their introduction, moving the Pentium to the entry level. Identical or more capable versions of Core processors are also sold as Xeon processors for the server and workstation markets.
As of June 2017, the lineup of Core processors includes the Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, and Intel Core i9, along with the X-series of Intel Core CPUs.

    Can a Mock Demonstration of Earth's Core Dynamo Effect Be Created?

    Hi, Does anyone know if anyone else has made a mock demonstration of the dynamo effect of the Earth's core? I've heard that the core is supposed to be made of a liquid metal sphere with a solid metal core. When they spin, they make the Earth's magnetic field. The question is, if the...

    Could the Moon be the cooled remains of a planets core?

    I was reading an article over the weekend that the Moon has evidence of a "final" volcano on it's "far side." I am working on something that suggests the Moon would be too small to have had volcanoes, and this didn't fit with my assumption. I then reasoned that based on size, and based on the...

    Can a star with a black hole core be stable?

    If a small black hole were to fall into a star or brown dwarf, presumably it would initiate accretion and fusion in a shell around it. Can such an object be stable over any decent timescale, or would it undergo variability/significant mass loss/supernova?

    Loss of heat from the Earth's core

    We all know that Earth's core is relatively hotter than the Earth's surface. And with this temperature gradient, there must me a loss of heat from the Earth's core to the surface and then to atmosphere and outer space by convection and radiation. So, how much time it would require for the...

    Question on inductance with magnetic material core.

    Is there a difference in inductance of an inductance with magnetic material whether it is magnetized or not. Meaning is there an increase of inductance if the core has been magnetized ( become magnet) vs the same material but not magnetized? Does magnetization increase the \mu of the material?
