Advantage of PLINQ feature in VS2010

Most of us have been installed Visual Studio 2010 and started using with .net framework 4.0. Definitely there are some new exciting features added with this framework and among PLINQ(Parallel LINQ) is one of the most interesting for developer to show faster development.
Nowadays its very common to use multi-core processor systems. PLINQ helps to utilize the multi-core facilities of your application.
PLINQ is LINQ executed in Parallel, that is, using as much processing power as you have in your current computer. For example having DUAL CORE(2 processor) will elimiante the processing time into half of the total time. Using "only" LINQ you won't get as much performance because the standard Language Integrated Query operators won't parallelize your code. That means your code will run in a serial fashion not taking advantage of all your available processor cores.
