I was under the impression, after reading from several different sites, that all Intel i7 processors contained 4 cores, yet when I look at my i7-4500U in CPU-Z it only shows a dual core? So am i wrong in my assumption about all i7 cores being quad core? The cpu came installed with my Asus Q550L laptop.

Thanks for any clarification.

Well actually there are desktop i7 processors with 6 and even 8 cores. But your chip is a mobile part and has 2 real cores with Hyperthreading so 2 cores 4 threads.
