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.
Both the AMD Vision and Intel i7 series of processors offer multiple CPU cores. Cores are essentially additional processors inside the CPU that allow PCs to multithread or perform calculations and operations in parallel series. Depending upon the model, AMD Vision processors may have four, six or eight cores.
