Sorry to intervene here again, but I believe that technically that particular processor is quad core unlike its direct predecessors, which is why it does get listed that way. But it's a low-powered version. We might need chesterbigbird to explain the technicalities more fully. Agree though that the laptop as a whole is not a good match for these games with proper performance expectations.
