### Processor cores
The vast majority of general purpose computers are multi-core. This means that the CPU contains more than one processing unit. They are best thought of as mini-CPUs within the main CPU since they each have the same overall Von Neumann architecture.
With Intel processors the two main consumer processors are the i5 and i7. The latter has more cores than the former. Consequently it has faster clock speeds and greater concurrency due to increased threads.
