So what is it: a core I3 or a core I5? It refers to both in the product description.

It is an i3-3220. It honestly is the same at running games as the i5 Ivy Bridges. You wouldn't be able to perceive a difference and the extra cores only make a difference in heavily threaded applications, which most games aren't. I can run Skyrim at max settings with 60 fps+, and I only threw in an HD7770 and a bit better of a power supply. I would recommend this.

Intel Core i3-3220 CPU @ 3.30gHz. 6.00GB installed memory. I bought it refurb for use in my summer cottage, where I don't need much in the way of capability. But, to be frank, it easily exceeds every use I have put it to. I usually have two browsers open, each with three panels open and it has not been strained, except that a time or two I have gotten video memory warnings, which I have been able to simply ignore with no detectable consequence. In sum, I'm happy.

Hello! it's just ONE phisical processor, but two cores. Here: http://ark.intel.com/products/77771/Intel-Core-i3-4340-Processor-4M-Cache-3_60-GHz. regards!

This model specifically is the G2030 Processor. Great for many day to day tasks like the i3. For comparison of processor handlings check out cpu-world.com. Compare Cpu freq vs cache, etc.

Is that the one i have? It has, Intel B950 processor. Don't see anything about dual core but it seems pretty fast. :-)

I'd need to know the exact model number of the chip to be certain (ie i5-####), but I think it should be the same chipset (LGA1155). Also btw, an i5 has to have at least 2 physical cores running HyperThreading (2x2=4 threads), or 4 cores with no H. T.(4x1=4 threads). In other words, there is no such thing as a single core i5 processor.

It's a dual core Atom. They have a newer version with an i3, but it way overpriced.

The A6-4400M AMD Processor is a Dual Core Processor. Google this and you will see that I am right??? PS I have bought this computer before also.

the processor on my computer is 1.3 GHz Intel Core i5 and it works great. I'm not sure if anything different then that would make a difference.

Its the Intel i3-3227U dual core processor. So far, except for having to deal with Windows 8, its working fine. The unit has been very reliable and fast for our needs running Office, surfing, Hulu, etc. no complaints.

Yes, I would like to know if the core is unlocked for overclocking myself. The box says it's unlocked....Can anyone answer this.

I have this model but it all depends on which model you get. Some come with a Core i3. I have the i5 model and I can play most 3d games on medium to high settings well.

It comes with an Intel Core I-3. I really like this laptop and the back lit keyboard is a major plus. You won't be disappointed

I can't speak for the Core i5 version, but the Core i3 version does not have a backlit keyboard.

Updated: These are not compatible as the cpu has different pins than the mb socket. Yes, it is listed as being compatible with the Core i7 / i5 / i3 processors.

Best reference is: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php The i3 you indicated smokes the AMD. For CPU's with similar scores you'll also want to consider power usage, heat, etc. Also, keep in mind that although most operating systems can effectively use two or more cores, most software can't. So, unless your doing video rendering or something similar, the extra cores may just be wasted. Good luck with a hard choice.

No, it comes with one 3rd generation Intel i5 processor. Maybe you got confused because this is a dual core processor
