I still think that PCWorld are misrepresenting the matter by the clear suggestion (though not quite the assertion) that you *need* dual-core in order to multitask.
My view too because of all the possible ways to answer the question 'What's dual core?' they chose not 'it goes twice as fast as a single core' nor 'you get the same computing power for less electrical power' both of which are pretty much unique properties of dual core, they gave an answer which a) is not unique to dual core b) implies it does something new all of which seems to me to persuade the customer to buy it for erroneous reasons which makes it misleading in my book.
