Is it a Quad core or Dual Core? null

The Intel Core i3-6100U processor within this device is a dual core processor with four threads. That means each of the two cores acts as a separate dual-core processor, so the physical dual core processor functions as if it were actually a quad core processor, generating less heat than a comparable quad core processor. This is called Hyper-Threading and it is exclusive to Intel.
