Title: How does dual mining work?

How is it possible that claymore's miner can mine not only eth, but also an alt coin without impacting hash power?

It's simple etherum algo is memory intensive so it depends on the gpu memory you can underclock the core without change in etherum hashrate , so why not mine a core intensive algo at the same time with etherum ,core intensive means it doesn't depends on memclock but on coreclock so this is how dual mining works , some algos only can be mined with etherum.
