[dba-Tech] Chip terminology

Hi Arthur

There are lots of different i5 chips.  Some have two cores (duals), some have four (quads).  In the few that I've looked
at, the duals have hyperthreading, like yours, and the quads don't.  I'm ignorant of the ones I haven't looked at, and I
don't know what Jim means by "should have".

HTH
John

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