Intel i3

[xkresnax]

I had a question here
whether i3 a quad core ? And if yes, what about i5 and i7, both of this is also quad core ?

The I3 is a dual core with hyper threading so it looks like a quad to the operating system. I5s are both depending on which model you get the I5 6XX are dual cores with HT and then the I5 750,760 are true quad cores. I7's are quad cores with HT so actually looks like an 8 core cpu to the operating system.

i3 5xx = 2 cores 4 threads (1156)
i5 6xx = 2 cores 4 threads Turbo
i5 7xx = 4 cores 4 threads
i7 8xx = 4 cores 8 threads Turbo
i7 9xx = 4 cores 8 threads (1366)
i7 9xx = 6 cores 12 threads
