[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1144473, member: 110816"] The i3 is the successor to the Core2Duo and thus has [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core#Core_i3"]two cores[/URL]. I have the 27" i7 iMac and when I ask for the CPU Usage monitor, I get 8 bars which makes since I have 4 cores and 4 more with hyper-threading.. So the 4 bars doesn't make sense on the i3..even on the i5 it should only show 4 bars since that one is a quad-core which lacks hyper-threading.. Regards [/QUOTE]
