"Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 5420 1.9 GHz Processor" Octa stands for 8. It has 4 x Cortex A15 cores and 4 x Cortex A7 cores. However it only runs with one set of cores at a time. 4 x Cortex A15 cores at 1.8-1.9 GHz when it needs speed and power. 4 x Cortex A7 power sipping cores at 1.3 GHz when it doesn't need the speed and power. So yes, it is a Quad Core.

I doubt it, it looks (from the description) that it's actually the older 3.0 GHz Dual Core, not the 3.0 Quad Core as it says in the title....mistake?

Yes, it is a quad core and it's should be able to handle both the CPU and Video Card with no problem.

I got the U31SD-XH51 with 2nd-Gen Intel iCore5 and a discrete nVidia GPU for heavy tasks (was on sale for $600USD) instead so I can't exactly tell you anything here. Mine runs extremely cool for browsing stuff and watching videos (fan doesn't even run at all unless I play 3D games). I also give credit to Asus for a well-designed cooling system on their laptop brand. Sources: I still own an HP-DV2210us model so I know exactly what you mean.

to find out right click on your computer then go into advanced settings then click on processors. I have a Quad core one.

Not being an expert all I can say is when I bought it I consulted an expert and he said as long as I am not doing film editing this computer will work for me. It is not a quad processor, but a dual. It is however, plenty fast for me.

This one is dual core. It's got an Intel Core i7-3537U CPU @ 2GHz. More specs here http://ark.intel.com/products/72054/

According to the specs, they only came with up to the 2.66 Quad core, but this site says some of them support the 3.0 Ghz Quad core... you should submit your question here and see what they say. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1399948 Make sure to state what form factor your unit is (Mini-Tower, Desktop, Small Form Factor or Ultra Small Form Factor variant)

It doesn't have an Intel Processor. It has an AMD A10 5757m. It is slightly slower than an i5 but is has better graphical performance. Overall it's pretty solid. I'm able to play a video game on one screen and play a 1080p video on another screen with no problems.

Thanks! I appreciate the information. I'll probably buy the U100 (aren't lower numbers usually cheaper?), or maybe the Acer equivalent or even the Asus, though that seems to be a bit heavier. (I'd welcome opinions on the relative merits of these computers.)

There is a single quad-core processor. This basically means 4 processors on a single chip so you can easily run multiple tasks at once and video and games will run smoothly.

I don't think it will this quad core is 4.2 ghz unlocked so its pertty fast and can handle good and can still be over locked if needed I have no problem with mine I run a visiontek readon 7950 3gb ddr5 graphics card and it runs it just fine it's a decent CPU for a very good price hope that helps any good day

Yes! I currently am running a Phenom II X4 980 CPU w/16GB RAM, 6770 Video & SSD. My best build so far. I'm not a heavy gamer but, it has not let me down in any way. Love it.

I7 is amazing and I'm not sure about specs for older but mine is really fast because it's 8 gigs of ram. I believe it's around 3.7ghz. I prefer newer up to date items as well because of bug fixes. I'm sure you could find a c

Yes...i will be using it for 3d....the quadcore, speed, and ram will be strong. And is easy to upgrade ram to 32 gigs, thats what i will do . Should get my replacement tommorow and begin loading software and test it out.

Anyone know if there's any plans afoot-- or even rumors-- about a new generation of minis that might use Core i5?
