How many processor cores does it have?

At least two. Could be four depending on the chip you purchased. If you will check the original shipping list that came with your machine, unless it says quad core. you only have two.

In this case processor is just an identifier (which starts at 0). You have two processors, so they're 0 and 1. CPU cores means the number of cores in each physical processor (two here

sorry, doesn't show that processor supported. Also read David's note, has site info. And the software it comes with has bios updater, works good.

This is the first generation of the Core i7 series. Yet to this day a very powerful processor. Even for process intensive task like image editing.

To be clear, it is four 1.9 GHz A15 cores, and four 1.3 GHz A7 cores. At this time, it will only run four at a time max, the 1.9 or the 1.3, not all eight. So, not eight 1.9 Ghz A15 cores.

It has 2 cores. since it has no hyperthreading, it can run 2 threads, one on each core, simultaneously. Full specs are at: http://ark.intel.com/products/75608/Intel-Celeron-Processor-2955U-2M-Cache-1_40-GHzThis is not particularly fast but it is extremely power-efficient and more than adequate for ChromeOS, or even for a full-up Linux, for its intended applications.

I don't know where you are reading 2-3, the description I read both from the Amazon site and from the back of my computer say- Processor, 3 GHz Intel Pentium Dual-Core.

Yes, this model has an Intel Core i5-3230M processor. My VAIO has performed admirably over the last two months that I have used it. I am taking an online Masters program and it has been a great asset. I especially like the large touch screen...very responsive and easy to use.

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.

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!

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

Yes, the new Haswell processor is an i7-4770, 4770K, or 4771. It has 4 cores. The i7-3930K, 3960X, and 3970X have 6 cores, which is nothing to be sneezed at, but it's the Sandy Bridge processor. Cores are essentially separate microprocessors which can work simultaneously, so all the i7 chips are pretty good-sized applecarts. In addition to cores, they are able to multitask using threads--shifting from one set of registers on the chip to another instantly, without having to store and load fresh contents from memory. Your question about 16 bits is unclear--these chips have 32-bit registers and built-in floating-point coprocessors, and built-in graphics processors that aren't quite as good as fast video cards; and current versions of Windows are 32 bits and 64 bits. What does it all mean? Depends on the software. In general, you'll find stuff runs about twice as fast as a quad core Pentium.

yes it is Core i5 4300U / 1.9 GHz Windows 7 Pro 64-bit / 8 Pro 64-bit downgrade pre-installed: Windows 7 4 GB RAM 500 GB HDD ( 16 GB SSD cache ) 14" wide 1600 x 900 / HD+ Intel HD Graphics 4400 802.11ac 3G/4G upgradable

The 2 cores listed on the specs is most likely a typo. It is in fact a quad core i5.

3+, if I remember right. It's been a few years now since I installed it, and yes, it still runs fantastic, trouble free. I have it with Windows 7, 8 gb ram and Nvidia 560 gpu. I use Antec liquid cooler for the cpu and it runs a steady 30 degrees, in 6 core mode. Be sure your motherboard can unlock cores. Get Asus mobo with onboard switches that allow you to turn the 2 extra cores on and off. About 80% of these will unlock from 4 to 6. Great deal, got mine new in bid on Ebay. I won it for $88.00! new!

Just to make it clear, this machine does NOT have an A4 processor. It has an Intel Atom Z3770 processor. Its a very impressive CPU, produces practically no heat and performs exceptionally well for a low powered processor. This processor can handle nearly every desktop application with ease. Its quad core and it handles multitasking very well.
