Depends which model, and whether you are talking about physcial cores or virtual cores, for example a processor can have two physical cores and two virtual cores and still be branded a "quad core"
Apart from the bottom of the range i5 650, the rest are sold as "quad cores" although they don't have four physical cores.

∙ 13y agoAll shipping Core i7 processors have four cores but they each run two threads at a time so in a sense it's 8. Your computer will even recognize it as 8 cores.

Is the i3 a dual core processor?
Two physical cores and two virtual cores.
How many core processors i3 have?
The Intel i7 has3.06 GHz and 2.93 GHz core speedsFour processing threads4 MB of Intel® Smart CacheTwo channels of DDR3 1333 MHz memory
What is core i5 i4 i3 in computer?
A standard processor had one core like in P1, P2, P3, P4. It means it can performed only one task at a time. Now to make computer able to perform multiple tasks simultaneously it is being manufactured with multiple processors. A Dual-core processor has two cores. A Quad-core processor has four cores. An i3 processor has 2 cores. An i5 processor has 2 or 4 cores (depending on the model you have.) An i7 processor has 2, 4 or 6 cores (depending on the model you have.)
Which is better dual core or i3?
difference between dual core and core i3
How many cores does core dual core have?
Dual means two, so two separate cores
How many cores does the sandy bridge CPU have?
depends on the type the i3 has 2 cores (and 2 virtual ones because of hyperthreading)the i5 has 4 cores the i7 has 4 cores(+4 virtual ones)
How many address buses are used in core i3?
36 bit
Is a Intel 3rd gen i3 processor a quad or dual core?
i3 is a dual core. The i7 model is a quad core processor.
Which Intel processor is faster Intel core 2 duo or i3?
Intel Core i3 is faster even though they are both dual core processors. The i3 has multi-threading capability which lets it run two processes on one core versus one process per core the the Intel Core 2 duo. Bottom line: Intel core i3 is faster.
