“Is it a mistake that you show that this is a Dual Core Processor? I was told that it was an misprint and should be a Quad Core because it is an HP Pavilion-I7”

Its a Core i7 U processor, not a full Core i7 desktop processor. They have had to make some compromises to be able to run it on a laptop and at this price point. The processor is actually a dual core with hyperthreading which makes it a quad core, however its got 2 physical cores. A Core i7 for a desktop has 4 physical cores with hyper threading, which makes 8 threads. The other difference to a desktop i7 is that it has only 4 mb cache vs 8 mb on the chip for the desktop variant. For all purposes this Core i7U processor is more like a Core i5 desktop variant with i7 features. Its faster than the Core i3, but the performance metrics would be similar for the casual user. The Core i3 has 3 mb cache onboard vs 4mb of the Core i7U. Amount of Cache would make the CPU faster when it comes to crunching numbers. Hope this helps
