Talk:CORE

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The software/hardware computer marketing industry seems to have recycled the word "core" to refer to one of several CPUs on a single chip. Back in the age of dinosaurs, mainframes roamed the earth. They had core, too. Core referred to little toroidal magnets threaded on wires. Each core stored a memory bit. A program that had been loaded into memory was said to be "in core." A failed program might produce "a core dump."

[edit] Redirect

Due to the large number of uses of the word "core", including several that use all caps, I think this needs to be redirected to Core again. Rhindle The Red 18:13, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
