is second core being recognized?

Hi, everyone,

I just bought a used R1 and I've been updating everything. I've been away from Windows for a long time because of school and don't really know what to do about the situation below.

I've been using the site "Can I Run It" to see if my computer meets the specifications for certain games and it's not recognizing the correct processor speed. It recognizes my processor though. I attached an image. However, in my system information, my processor is recognized as a dual core. I turned off overclocking to see if it made a difference but it didn't work.

Can someone shed some light on this for me? Is it a website glitch or is there something wrong with my processor? The person who owned it before me definitely deleted drivers because I had to reinstall the drivers for the Nvidia graphics card. Do processors need drivers? I could understand why someone might uninstall a graphics card driver (he used the computer for music recording) but a processor driver seems ridiculous.

Thank you for any help provided.

 

Run CPU-Z. It will tell you how many cores and threads that are available to Windows.

The default maximum speed for the SU7300 is 1.30 GHz (200 MHz x 6.5)

If you overclock the R1 in the bios you can run it at 266 MHz x 6.0 = 1.60 GHz

Dell used to claim that the SU7300 can run "up to 1.73 GHz" (266 MHz x 6.5) but that was proven to be false and that claim was removed from their website.

The Windows based speed reported in System Information does not represent the actual speed the CPU is running at.

 

I dont see why your confused, shows you have a cpu running @ 1.3 ghz with 2 cores.

The can you run it need a cpu with a clock speed of 1.7. Even though you have 2 cores @ 1.3 each, theyre speeds doesnt "stack".
