3.40 gigahertz Intel Core i7-3770 1Core or a Quad?

I've got a HP desktop computer with a supposedly I-7 quad core chip set. I decided for the first time to ck the core operation in the Task Manger. I only see one graph ( view tab info is greyed out) and I think there should be 4 or more. Looking at the Device Manager under the Processor tab there are 8 sub threads shown all with drivers and working according to Win 7. In the MsConfig under tabs Boot and Advance there is only 1 core shown with no option to add others.
Device manager shows: Process drivers all 8 dated 6/29/2006 (all working) Chip set series C216 SATAAHCI dated 11/29/2011 (working)
In BIOS: Hyper Threading is Enabled and Multiprocessors are enabled
I did find this in Systems Report for the installed processor "Intel Core [email protected] GHZ 3392 MHZ, 1 Core(s) Logical Processor
This machine is still under warrantee and talking to HP about this I got not much of a conclusion of any problem. I spent a couple hours on-line with an HP Tech and the conclusion, since the machine is under warrantee, have it authorized for a hardware ck. This will turn into big deal having to unload my files and later to reinstall my software. I was asked to ck with Intel, before sending the PC in, and info or opinions from them is still pending.
I thought I was buying a quad core PC so do I have a quad core or a 1 core chip?
I’m hoping this 1 core chip si operating as a quad. I don’t know.
Thanks,
Roymg

    Buying a new Macbook Pro. Deciding b/w this add on:

    Is it worth the extra $250?
    What's the big difference? Thanks.

    Upgrade RAM yourself through macsales.com for $60.  Use the remaining $140 of Apple's mmeory price and upgrade for $150 to hi-res (1680x1050) and anti-glare.  I never regretted that upgrade on mine.
    My humble opinion.
    Sorry ... I just did the math and that puts you $10 out of pocket ...

  • My "About this mac" lists the processor as a 3.4GHz  Intel Core i7.  Is this a quad core i7 processor?

    under "About this Mac" it says that the processor is a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7.  Is this a quad core processor?  If so, why is it not stated as such?

    Click "System Report"
    Under "Hardware Overview" it will list "Total number of Cores". You can check that way. Cores are not listed in About this Mac on my machine either.

  • Can I easily upgrade my 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo to the new quad intel i7? any compatibility issues?

    Can I easily upgrade my 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo to the new Quad intel i7 processor? any compatibility issues?

    Not only can it not be done easily... it can't be done at all.  For starters, the processor is soldered to the logic board and it is not replaceable.  However, even if the processor were removable, the new quad core i7 processor is not compatible with the chipset used in your current system.  The new processors use an entirely new chipset.  The new processors also have an integrated GPU on the processor.  Your current chipset wouldn't have any idea how to deal with that.  Basically... apart from the fact that you just can't remove the processor, there are a significant number of hardware incompatibilites between the new processors and the logic board in your current machine.

  • I have a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 macbook pro that has lion installed when I recieved it, according to the support pages AHT is supposed to work over the internet if it wasn't installed, Mine wasn't and it doesn't work. Where can I download it from?

    I Have a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 macbook pro, I recieved it with OSx 7.2 lion installed, I need to us AHT (apple hardware test) according to the support page that I copy here
    Additional Information
    Apple Hardware Test is included on the DVDs that are shipped with some Macintosh computers. If the copy on your hard drive becomes unavailable, use the DVDs to run Apple Hardware Test.
    For Intel-based Apple computers that shipped with Mac OS X v10.5.4  or earlier, Apple Hardware Test is located on the Mac OS X Install Disc 1  and should be included with your computer.
    For Apple computers that shipped with Mac OS X v10.5.5 to 10.6.7, Apple Hardware Test is located on the Applications Install  Disc 2 and should be included with your computer.
    For some Apple computers that shipped with OS X Lion, if Apple Hardware Test cannot be found on the hard drive, an Internet-based version starts up instead.
    This doesn't work as the additional information statement says it should above.  Could someone at apple give me an idea of where to get it or what the "REAL" solution is, since it doesn't work on an internet version which was confirmed today at the Genius Bar in the Apple store.
    Please help me

    Thanks, while it worked on yours it doesn't work on mine, any other ideas?
    Are you holding down the "d" key, all by itself, just after the system shuts down for a restart?
    And how long did you hold it down?
    I held mine down for about 40-50 seconds. Then I lookat at my routers WAN light and it was flickering so I let up on the d key.
    If that does not work then maybe there is something wrong with your MBP. Is that the reason you want to run this test, something isn't right with your unit?

  • How do I use a Verizon PC Wireless card with my iMAC Intel Core desktop?

    Help! Bought a Kyocera KPC650 Wireless PC Card for Verizon wireless internet. Works fine w/ laptop because it has a slot. How do I configure my iMAC desktop to accept this card? Is there an external USB adapter? Or do I have to get one installed internally? Which adapter works with OX 10.4?
    I've seen the Quatech U132 online. Will that work? Its $192!! As is the Sewell adapter too. ($209)
    Any ideas? I want to get off SBCYahoo DSL and their router because our DSL line is damaged in our complex and no one is fixing it!
    Thanks in advance.

    What protocol is Verizon using that is not compatible with the Airport Extreme built into your iMac? I have used Apple's Airport Extreme with a lot of different wireless routers with zero problems as all conform to either 802.11b or 802.11g standard both of which are supported by the built in Airport Extreme.

  • I have a Mac mini OSX 10.4.11 Intel Core Duo, 512mb, 1.83 GHz with iTunes 9.0.3. What steps do I need to take to get my music library to my iPad. I dont think I meet the requirements to just upgrad to snow leopard and/or lion. I want the music I paid for

    I have a Mac mini OS X 10.4.11, intel core duo processor (not core 2 duo), with 512 mb and 1.83 GHz processor.  I only have version 9.0.3 of iTunes because it hasn't let me go higher, which I believe is because of the operating system.  I want to get my purchased music from the Mac mini to a different computer (that has the latest version of iTunes) and also my iPad.  The Mac mini does not meet the requirements listed to simply upgrade to snow leopard or lion. As far as I can tell.  Forgive me if I am lacking here...this is new to me.  What can I do to get the music transferred.  I have invested alot of money over the past few years on all this music that I should be able to transfer.  Thank you in advance if you can help me.

    If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
    If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

    MacBook Pro 8,1 – Intel Core i5 – 2.23 GHz (early 2011) New with OSX 10.6 – current on all updates.
    I successfully installed rEFit. I used Boot Camp to install Win 7.  All was great.
    Then installed debian 6.  Somehow after the debian install and restart (I know this sounds crazy) but I am now reduced to Win 7 only. rEFit is not present when rebooting nor is OSX or debian. Further, I am unable to force the install DVD to launch when rebooting, by holding C, D or F8.  The Option key brings me to the grey screen with a padlock. I have attempted the root and local pw- no go. Restart holding D takes me to the windows boot manager. I have attempted several options within the Advanced Options; including – Repair Your computer, safe mode and “last known good config,” All of which did nothing.
    I can see all my OSX files within win7. I tried to install the OSX within windows. Ya right, that did nothing..
    I only desire to get back to OSX...
    What are my options??

    Yes, you royally hosed up your machine.
    You should first try to get your files off, any way you can to a external drive.
    Your going to need to hold c and boot from the disk that came with your computer and a couple of screens in under the menu is a option for Disk Utility.
    Select your drive and Erase with Security Option Zero, format the drive HFS+ Journaled and when that's finished (about a hour or so) then quit and install OS X from the installer.
    I hope this works, but I suspect it won't. Others have hosed their machines trying to use a Linux disk without proper partition formatting too.
    Another option might be to use another Mac to c boot off the Snow Leopard disk and install OS X onto a external drive, take that to the problem Mac and try holding option and booting off of it to erase your internal drive.
    You could replace the drive.

    There was someone else around here who hosed their Mac with a Linux disk too. Try to find it.

  • Can too much memory lead to a kernel panic on a MacBook Pro? specs 2.4GHz intel core i7 16GB DDR3 RAM   late2011..My laptop began suffering from kernel panics 3 mos ago first noticed using public wifi. Gone thru apple support all the way to engineers

    Can too much RAM memory in a late 2011 model macbook pro lead to kernel panic? That is what I was told by a senior supervisor from apple support who troubleshot this issue.First noticed this problem in Dec 2014 while using a private wifi at a relative's home. Did not occur again until Feb1 using a public wifi at a hotel. Never happened on my private wifi network until last night  attempting to use airplay. ( have used airplay before without issue). Late 2011 MacBook Pro running 10.9.5; 2.4 GHz Intel core i7, 16 GB DDR3,AMD Radeon HD 6770m 1024 MB graphic card.  The laptop came with 8GB RAM and I installed 8 GB about 2 years ago for some reason I cannot remember... probably because I thought the system was slowing down a little. I know that sounds silly. I do not run multiple programs at a time except I leave 6-8 website tabs open simultaneously. I don't photo or video edit.  I would describe my use as "light"  based on reading these blogs.I had purchased apple support and spent hours on the phone with them in early Feb moving up through support  and senior support to sending logs to the "engineers." Of course lots of things were done some of which I am sorry to report I cannot recall their technical definitions. Deleted  3rd party apps/programs; re-worked start up menu; re-installed operating system; reset " this, that and the other" using acrobatic simultaneous key strokes both in and out of safe mode..Anyway the results from the engineers came back and they suggested that if it happened again I was to remove the 8GB of RAM I had installed as the system was getting confused as to which chip to use.( that is my interpretation of what was said..prob dumbed down for me)...Anyway 1 day after these pronouncements came down I read that Apple had agreed to fix  graphics cards in some late model 2011 MBPs. I felt this was unlikely to be the issue  given all that had been done including an extended hardware test but called the Senior Support Supervisor I was working with to ask him to make sure. He never phoned me back. Should I go to the trouble of removing 8GB of RAM from my laptop? Of course I will try it as the alternative is a new computer.Blogs read that this model can support 16GB but Apple didn't test for it. Senior Supervisor claims this is my trouble.  Does that make sense?  Not to me....but it is clear to all my level of knowledge.  Can a malfunctioning graphics card be missed by an extended hardware test? I appreciate comments.

    The RAM needs specs as shown below.
    Maximum Memory
    16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots

  • Running Mavericks on an iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, I've been trying to install Adobe CS3. All components install except InDesign. Is this an installation disk problem or is it not compatible with the OS?

    Running Mavericks on an iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, I've been trying to install Adobe CS3 Design Premium. All components install except InDesign. Is this an installation disk problem, or is there a compatibility problem with the OS?

    I fear that you are trying to download OLDER Software on a newer Operating Sysytem Meaning that you need to Install the Latest Version of Adobe on the Newer Operating System for it to work Properly. Be sure to always check the minimum System Requirements.

  • Problem installating Snow Leopard on old Macbook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo. After creating partition on internal hard disk (Extended Journaled), installation starts but stops at half of the progress bar. Screen asking Restart appears.

    Hello:
    I have tried installing Snow Leopard via the installation disc on a Macbook Pro (2007) with an Intel Core 2 Duo, but I the installation has failed more than 5 times.
    I have first formatted and partitioned the internal hard disk with Mac Os Extended Journal format.
    Once the installation starts, it starts without a problem unti lthe progress bar gest until half completed then a screen asking for a Computer Restart shows up.
    It asks to press the power button for some time until it the computer shuts down and then, press again to turn it on.
    Once turned on, the installation disc gets readed, the installation screen appears again and asks again to start the whole installation process form the beginning.

    Then you have a Hardware Problem.
    Your system is Crashing part way through the install and Re-Booting because of the crash.
    Could be the drive itself or it could be some other hardware part in your system. Like the RAM.
    To check if it is the internal drive connect an External drive to the system by USB and do the install on that external. If the install completes then it more then likely the drive is bad. If it crashes again then it is more then likely some other piece of hardware in your system.

  • Acrobat XI Pro performance with new Intel Core M processor

    EDIT 21-Feb-2015: the issue seems to be with the power limitation of the new Intel Core M Broadwell processor. Enabling it in "full performance" mode significantly increases the performance. Nonetheless, in whichever power mode the computer is set, Microsoft Reader has no issue with any of the operations listed below.
    Hi,
    I'm running Acrobat XI Pro on Windows 8.1 64-bit with high-res display (3200x1800, Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro), which uses the new Intel Core M Broadwell processor.
    Zooming in and out and panning on the main application is very laggy, and full screen is EXTREMELY laggy. Also very noticeable delays in scrolling and page to page.
    The computer is brand new, out of the box, no viruses or other software dragging the system down. Also, if I open the same files on the Microsoft Reader app, there is no lag at all in doing these operations.
    I have found on the forum that some people have had lag and disabled Protected View and Enhanced Security. However, Protected View is not enabled on my installation, and disabling Enhanced Security has no effect.
    Right now I would say that the zoom/pan performance is worse even than on Reader on a 5 year old Windows XP machine I tried to compare to.
    Is there some other settings in Acrobat XI that could cause this issue?
    Thanks!
    P.S. I couldn't find a more appropriate group other than "Acrobat Installation & Update Issues" as I didn't find a troubleshooting group or anything like that, but can re-categorize.
