Glossary Web explains Hexa-Core
Single layer processors were used for a long time but with the changes taking place in technology new items came in the market and the first among those was the dual core, they became famous because of the second layer that existed. Quad Core was the next generation of CPU that consisted of four different layers, and the Hexa-Core came next with six sheets that made the working simpler and speeds faster.
The first processors that existed from this category came on the market in 2010 with the name of Intel Core i7 Hexa-Core processor. It could perform at better speeds when compared to the previous versions. It did not last long as the Octa-Core technology was introduced a couple of years later but most of the devices used at university and official levels have Hexa-Core processors since they have more options than the older versions but less price than the latest model.
