In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Each core reads and executes program instructions, specifically ordinary CPU instructions.
- However, the MCP can run instructions on separate cores at the same time, increasing overall speed for programs that support multithreading or other parallel computing techniques.
- Manufacturers typically integrate the cores onto a single IC die, known as a chip multiprocessor, or onto multiple dies in a single chip package.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Multi-core processor article was read about 44,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 65: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
How to get Multi-core processor
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
