[dba-Tech] Chip terminology

I think the i5-750 must be about four years old now.  My favorite supplier no longer sells it, but does have fifteen
other (different) i5 processors in stock right now.  Most are quads - but not all.

Hi Arthur:

"...From what I can tell, i5 CPUs are those which have 4 threads. This means they are either 4 cores without SMT (1
thread per core) or dual cores with SMT (2 threads per core). Currently, the i5-750 is the only i5 available, and it is
a quad core without SMT. "

What can I say, Jim? Belarc Advisor reports only two. Maybe there's more than one i5 chip?
