[dba-Tech] Chip terminology

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?
