This cache is shared amongst the three CPU cores.

Why in the world would anyone think there are files for each CPU core?

The two chips are, however, very close, and have the same CPU core.

But as long as memory bandwidth isn't an issue, each CPU core can run at full speed regardless of what the other(s) are doing.

This means if four CPU cores are running, the extra speed is 0.

Motorola mainly used even numbers for major revisions to the CPU core such as 68000, 68020, 68040 and 68060.

A CPU core designed to minimize transistors while maximizing performance.

Much higher performance superscalar, out of order CPU core.

Does each CPU core have its own instruction pointer?

It can use up to thirty-two CPU cores in multiprocessor systems.
