Answer 1

Companies:  Intel, AMD

Quad = 4

Core = # of internal processing units

So if you have a quad core processor, it can be simultaneously working on 4 different processes, however these processes have to share the bus because they are on a single processor.  Dual = 2 so that one can do 2 simulataneously.

Answer 2

there are mainly two brands Intel and AMD. And the Dual core thingy is the power of the processors. (consider dual core)
