I am looking for a laptop with cpu quad core and finding that most of the details give cpu information but do not say whether they are dual or quad.
Intel® Core™ i5-4200M processor - is this a quad core cpu -
Does anyone have a list of all intel quad core cpu's please?
Thank you

It's a hyper-threaded dual core processor. Meaning it acts like a quad-core but has 2 physical cores.

I may be wrong with this part but generally all Intel i5, i7, and mobile i7 CPUs are quad core. There are others but those are the main ones.
 
Its a dual core processor because it does not have the Q if it would i5-4200QM than it would be quad core, as said before it has HT technology which is used to improve parallelization of computations(many tasks at once). For each physical core the OS addresses two virtual cores and share the workload between them if possible.But ofc 4 physical cores is always better than 2cores and 2 virtual
