Hi all, Actually it seems to be not a problem, but a very interesting question actually faced with the fact that a lot where I write about my computer that it 2 CPU, but going into device Manager and opened the partition processor, to my surprise I found there 4 cores, well, that's it, what is it, why is that?

Hi:

 

Below is the link to the Intel processor specs for the processor your notebook has.

 

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/86348/intel-pentium-processor-3825u-2m-cache-1-...

 

It is a dual core processor with hyperthreading, so the processor shows up 4 times.

 

Two times for the dual core, and two times for the hyperthreading.

 

Here is some info from Intel regarding hyperthreading...
