12 Answers 12. You have to look at sockets and cores per socket. In this case you have 1 physical CPU (socket) which has 4 cores (cores per socket). I have one socket, two cpus per socket, so that would mean a total of 2.
CPUs have a clock speed â think of it as how fast the CPU does work. (Thatâs actually an imperfect analogy as the truth is a lot more complicated, but it will have to do for now.) For example, Intelâs Core i5-3330 processor has a clock speed of 3 GHz and is a quad-core processor, which means it has four cores.
