Do I have a dual-core CPU or a quad-core CPU? (Intel i3 4130)

So is that good or bad?

Overall its good, its better than a normal dual core without hyperthreading. Though its not better than a CPU with 4 physical cores. (someone with much more knowledge than me can probably give you a more informative answer though)

It's good. It means you have two virtual cores along with two physical cores. You'll see a performance increase in programs/games that can utilize 4 threads, as compared to a dual core without hyper threading.
