Depends which model, and whether you are talking about physcial cores or virtual cores, for example a processor can have two physical cores and two virtual cores and still be branded a "quad core"

Apart from the bottom of the range i5 650, the rest are sold as "quad cores" although they don't have four physical cores.

All shipping Core i7 processors have four cores but they each run two threads at a time so in a sense it's 8. Your computer will even recognize it as 8 cores.
