Its is a quad core. One processor that has 4 cores.http://ark.intel.com/products/75117/Intel-Core-i7-4700MQ-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_40-GHz

Yes it will work with only one processor. I have tested this my self, and it is compatible with the quadro 4200k.

No, this is basically a 4 physical core processor, whcih you already have. Only certain software will take advantage of the additional "cores".

I had this same question when I was buying this laptop. After much research I found out that turbo core is a technology that increases the speed of the processor when needed. So for example, In this case, when the processor is using 100% of its 1.9 GHz speed turbo core kicks in and raises its speed to 2.8 GHz until it only 1.9 GHz speed is needed again. Honestly, I don't get why AMD just labeled this processor as a 2.8 GHz quad-core and left it at that without adding the concept of "turbo core".

if the CPU is with QM that is Quad Core. Rest all ate Dual core. QM processors are only available in 17R Special Edition and some High end XPS systems.

Dxdiag says i5 cpu @ 2.80 Ghz quad core. No, its i5 on mine. It is cheap for a gaming laptop and you can always upgrade the CPU. Im satisfied with my purchase. Can handle most games at ultra settings.

Ah....the customer service rep I talked to said the description (Dual Core) is right and the title (Quad Core)is wrong. Conflicting stories I guess. He said that Amazon does the title, the supplier does the technical description. Though it looks like now the technical description has been changed to say "Quad Core" The retail price looks like it matches the current retail price of the Dual 3.0 Quad Core...I don't know, your guess is as good as mine!

This unit comes with 2 x processors. If you have any other questions, please let us know.Thank You,ServerMonkey

That must be a mistake by description. i5 includes 4 CPUs, not Core Duo. The Lenovo ThinkPad T530 2359 is built with i5 (4 CPUs).

I'm wondering the same thing. I just ordered one up but before I tear open the box I need to know which processor it has. I ordered it thinking it was an i7.; After I posted this I noticed that they changed description to an i3.

Is your processor duo? I bought this thinking it could support i5 without reading it.

I don't think it will this quad core is 4.2 ghz unlocked so its pertty fast and can handle good and can still be over locked if needed I have no problem with mine I run a visiontek readon 7950 3gb ddr5 graphics card and it runs it just fine it's a decent CPU for a very good price hope that helps any good day

It is a Quad core and it handles everything just fine, even under fairly intense graphical processing. You might want to bump up the ram for hardcore gaming, but works just fine with little slowdown on anything but the most intense graphical processing.

BTW this is 4-core system, is is quite a bargain for this capable a machine. Most laptops are 2-core.

quad core all the e's and q's and pentium d 925 and up. I put a q6600 and over clocked it to 3.3 ghz and ran fine

Yikes! Now wait a minute...6 cores? I wouldn't expect that any time this year. Heck, dual core is still the vast majority for laptop CPUs. There's actually only ever been maybe 5 or so quad core CPUs in the laptop market.Unless you mean systems using desktop CPUs in laptops. But it'll be next year at the earliest for a notebook six core CPU. Heck, they only have a single desktop part, if I'm remembering right.

It is the Intel Core i7-4810mq quad core processor. The four cores can handle up to eight threads. Each core offers a base speed of 2.8GHz but can increase clock rates with Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz. I hope his helps!
