I5 has in the most models 4 cores, but there are some with only 2 cores also.
----------------------------------------The I5 with 4 cores has not hyperthreading so it can run 4 WU simultaneous. The I5 with 2 cores has hyperthreading so it can run 4 WU simultaneous. http://www.intel.com/products/processor/corei5/index.htm |

to check how many WU's can be run bring up Task Manager, look at performance - it will show how many CPU's are there and can run that many WU's - my I7 shows 8 consequently runs 8 WU's at the same time

I guess that the link below will help you:
----------------------------------------http://ark.intel.com/ Just click on the processors type (i.e.: i5 ) to see technical details like numbers of cores and which processors have HT feature available.
