“Quad core? I thought 6th gen i7 was a quad core but specs say dual core”

1-4 of 4 Answers

• Processor generation and number of cores has nothing to do. This is a i7 6500u, the i7 5500u or i7 4500u are 2 cores... But they have dual threads so will act as quad. The i7 6700HQ and up are Quad cores.
