This is a combination of Apple and Intel craziness. Intel decided to have let the names i3/i5/i7 be independent of number of cores, and Apple don't mention the exact processor name, which would tell you. Just the clock speed.

No, they mention processor names all over the place; e.g., see the specs, section "Processor and Memory": http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/specs.html http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/specs.html .

      You just proved my point. The actual names of the CPUs are Core i5-520M (2.4GHz), i5-540M (2.53GHz) and i7-620M (2.66GHz).
