Is the processor single or dual core?

As far as I can tell, the version I have (Model P500-20210) is Intel Core i5-3210m CPU with 2.50 GHz. So that would make it a dual core with four threads.

It's 1.4GHz Intel Core i3-2367M Dual-Core. Also, instead of Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 listed it's 3000. Last but not least, this is NOT a FULL HD display. Seller should really pay more attention to specs.

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.

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

No. It is one physical i5; that processor is hyper-threaded and a dual core processor, giving you 4 threads. http://ark.intel.com/m/products/65707

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

This computer has the following processor: Intel Core i5-3210M processor (2 cores, 2.50GHz, 3MB cache), Intel HD Graphics 4000, DDR3 memory controller (up to 1600MHz), Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 (3.10GHz), HT technology. The key phrase here is "2 cores", i.e. this is duo configuration. This computer does not have 4 CPUs as one of the replies suggested. It has 2. 4 CPUs are usually found only in QM version of some i7 processors (for example, i7-3740QM, which is mostly used in ThinkPad W530 notebooks).

Yes. This is one of the fastest CPUs Intel has made so far, and it will do anything that can be done with a single Quad-core CPU. It also is an an excellent combination of value for the cost.

It' not dual-core unfortunately, the laptop is not built for gaming or any high graphics or high speed operations. I just use this laptop as a tool for studying.

Not two processors; a dual processor. Pretty common, actually. That means it can execute two programs simultaneously; two virtual processors.

A dual core processor is not available in the Aspire. Whether it can be installed is another question. Keep in mind that the Aspire is a very basic laptop. Sorry if I couldn't elaborate more.

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.

It's Core i3. Specs are here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03782467&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en

The unit has a AMD Dual-Core E1-1200 Accelerated Processor with AMD Radeon operating at 1.4 GHz, with 1MB Cache AMD A68M Chipset. Hope this helps.

I bought this for my son from his wishlist. I believe this is just the processor.

Any core 2, either duo or quad, is capable of 32 or 64 bit operation. The settings are in the bios at start-up. Default setting is 32 bit.

You can install only one CPU but there are restrictions with RAM configuration when doing this. But it does work.
