Jeremy,This item is in fact a dual core processor (1.6Ghz Rockchip RK3066 Dual Core "CPU").The graphics processing unit that is quad core (Quad core Mali-400 "GPU").Hope my explanation helped!

I doubt it, it looks (from the description) that it's actually the older 3.0 GHz Dual Core, not the 3.0 Quad Core as it says in the title....mistake?

It is listed as 2.4 ghz, and it's a quad processor. It's fast for a moderate priced laptop.

Its a dual core processor, but you have to set that preference in the bios.

read the description-it says dual core.very very good item for this price in my opinion.install the new firmware update.

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

Hello, the version I received does have a dual core processor. It is very responsive and doesn't lag often. Looks like its a hit or miss on these devices.

Thanks for the advice but do you think the dual core would be better? It's cheaper as well.

The model I purchased had a Pentium D processor clocked at 3.4ghz but I think it was a single core rather than a dual core. If you plan on upgrading it I have done some researching and I know the pentium dual core is supported and I have had one confirmation that the intel core 2 quad extreme q6700 is also supported but I cannot confirm as I have not tested it myself.

Yes it is a quad core. http://ark.intel.com/products/71459/Intel-Core-i7-3630QM-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_40-GHz. However the operating system it comes with is Windows 8.1 and it's the worst piece of CRAP I've ever had to deal with. I would recommend wiping the operating system and using a more stable version like Windows XP or something. :\

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!

According to the specs, they only came with up to the 2.66 Quad core, but this site says some of them support the 3.0 Ghz Quad core... you should submit your question here and see what they say. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1399948 Make sure to state what form factor your unit is (Mini-Tower, Desktop, Small Form Factor or Ultra Small Form Factor variant)

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

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".

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

I don't believe so.........the motherboard will support certain Core 2 Duo CPUs but not Quad Core CPUs.

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!
