I did quick research and think processor has two cores supporting two threads each. Is this correct?

I ran CPU-Z on my 4500 model with the following results: Processors Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Processor 1 ID = 0 Number of cores 2 (max 8) Number of threads 4 (max 16) Name Intel Core i7 4500U Codename Haswell ULT Specification Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4500U CPU @ 1.80GHz Package (platform ID) Socket 1168 BGA (0x6) CPUID 6.5.1 Extended CPUID 6.45 Core Stepping C0 Technology 22 nm TDP Limit 15 Watts Tjmax 100.0 C Core Speed 798.1 MHz Multiplier x Bus Speed 8.0 x 99.8 MHz Stock frequency 1800 MHz Instructions sets MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, EM64T, VT-x, AES, AVX, AVX2, FMA3 L1 Data cache 2 x 32 KBytes, 8-way set associative, 64-byte line size L1 Instruction cache 2 x 32 KBytes, 8-way set associative, 64-byte line size L2 cache 2 x 256 KBytes, 8-way set associative, 64-byte line size L3 cache 4 MBytes, 16-way set associative, 64-byte line size FID/VID Control yes Turbo Mode supported, enabled Max non-turbo ratio 24x Max turbo ratio 30x Max efficiency ratio 8x O/C bins none Ratio 1 core 30x Ratio 2 cores 27x Ratio 3 cores 27x Ratio 4 cores 27x TSC 2394.5 MHz TSC_24 24.0 MHz APERF 2693.9 MHz MPERF 2394.4 MHz IA Voltage Mode PCU adaptive IA Voltage Offset 0 mV GT Voltage Mode PCU adaptive GT Voltage Offset 0 mV LLC/Ring Voltage Mode PCU adaptive LLC/Ring Voltage Offset 0 mV Agent Voltage Mode PCU adaptive Agent Voltage Offset 0 mV and a WHOLE lot of other information.

Yes and no, the gigabyte brix ultra supports both an i5 and i7. The i5 is two cores with two threads each, and the i7 is four cores with two threads each. If you are buying an i5 configuration, then you stated (and research) is correct.

Thank you for your interest! The Core i7-3537U processor is a dual-core processor that does include Hyper-Threading functionality.

Not off this board. That processor is an AM2 and this board is for an AM3+ designed processor. You would need to get an AM3+ processor. Plus with the AM3+ you can go 8 core

The quad-core processor chips have 4 processor cores in them, compared to the 2 in a Dual/Duo core. The theory is that if you have multiple cores, you can split up the work between them so they'll run more quickly and efficiently. Only 4 cores not 8 cores

Best reference is: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php The i3 you indicated smokes the AMD. For CPU's with similar scores you'll also want to consider power usage, heat, etc. Also, keep in mind that although most operating systems can effectively use two or more cores, most software can't. So, unless your doing video rendering or something similar, the extra cores may just be wasted. Good luck with a hard choice.

Probably not, depends how badly you want 8 cores. I wanted 8 cores for the awesome factor, but the 4100 overclocks faster, uses less power, and is easier to cool. So I'd advise you to save your money, unless you are maxing out your CPU a lot, or you just reeeeeally reeeally want one like me.

According to the specifications from Asus, the processor is supported, but I have no personal experience with it.

Yes, it does. I'm not sure there are very many processors that don't come with that anymore.

This is a dual core, single processor machine. The Pentium 1.9 GHz 2127U in this machine is comparable to a 1.4 GHz Core i3 (also from Intel, but released in 2012). Both have dual cores, but the i3 supports hyperthreading, so it can do more with each core during each clock cycle. The Pentium, on the other hand, runs cooler due to a smaller chip die (the newer i3 chips use this new smaller technology). In short, the answer is one processor, two cores.

go and take a look at your system properties it will tell you if it six core or four, its might have got boxed wrong

Yes. This one is just all one piece while the other is two. As long as your cpu is AM3+ of course

In this case processor is just an identifier (which starts at 0). You have two processors, so they're 0 and 1. CPU cores means the number of cores in each physical processor (two here

The SR-2 will run certain high end Core i7 1366 chips - not only Xeons.BUT only one - can't populate both cpu sockets on the board.

I don't believe so.........the motherboard will support certain Core 2 Duo CPUs but not Quad Core CPUs.

revision 1The only difference is needing 1 8 pin and 1 6 pin(rev 1) vs needing 2 8 pin(Rev 2. 2 8 pins should give it more overclock headroom in theory.) either way it's a fantastic card:) Good luck.

A great site to help you find compatibility is pcpartpicker.com. It also helps find the best prices with can be amazon or others. According to pcpartpicker, which I haven't found to be wrong yet, that processor is supported. However, I do not have any experience with it my self.

Christian is correct. I believe only a single core switches to a higher clock speed under heavy load. You don't need to do anything at all and all switching is done automatically. You shouldn't notice anything different except a little more battery drain when it ramps up to 2.8 GHz.
