Design a multi-core processor architecture that utilizes the MESI protocol. Describe how data consistency is maintained across the cores.
💡 Hint: Think about how cores interact and share data.
Imagine a scenario without a coherency protocol. Describe the potential outcomes when Core 1 writes data to a variable that Core 2 is reading.
💡 Hint: Consider how shared data might become inconsistent.
