Question : How many procesors do I have?

My HP Pavillion Enteratinment PC (laptop) has an Intel i7 Core inside.

Attached is the view of Task Manager.  How many processors do I have?  Is processor a different name for Core?

Pleae explain a little about what kind of processors I have.

Is this a multi-processor machine?

Thanks,

Answer : How many procesors do I have?

yes, you have a multi core machine - not a multi processor though as it is a laptop and highly unlikely.

As a guess you have one quad-core processor with HT enabled.

As a guide;

Processor - the physical Chip
Core - a "logical" chip within the physical - you are able to have multiple of these though typically only between 2-4
HT - hyper-threading - complicated to explain but like additional cores ONLY for repetitive instruction sets (I think)
