I have the AMD FX 4130 quad core processor but when I checked it said it only has two physical cores and 4 logical cores. Are the logical cores like threads on intel's processors? Does this mean my processor is a dual core?
 
Solution
The FX-4130 has 4 physical cores. It is divided into two modules each with two physical cores. Each module only has 1 FPU (floating point unit) though so if both cores the modules needs to access the FPU for some calculations, one core must wait for the other core to finish using the FPU so that the other core can access the FPU.
