I have another question regarding the i3 7100u speed. It is rated at 2.4 g but I have noticed that even without taxing the system my speed for the most part ranges from .9 to 1.14 g. I have gotten this from observing the task manager performance. Is this normal ? I expected numbers closer to the rated 2.4g. Thanks for any insight.

CPU speed dynamically changes depending on load.  So to consume less power, the CPU will slow down when your system is idling.  As for your other question about why the CPU is listed 4 times, the i3 7100U is a dual core CPU that supports hyperthreading.
