More than two. It has x86_64 on the main CPU cores, x86 on the ME, SPARC on this NPU and whatever the iGPU ISA is called. And I wouldn't be surprised if there's an ARM microcontroller or three in there as well.

I do remember when Youtube would show more than 2 search results per page on my 23" display. Or when they would show more than 3 results before spamming irrelevant videos. Or when they didn't show 3 unskippable ads in a 5 minute v

At least then you could run your own server with whatever settings you wanted. Now instead you are left with unplayable games because the developer or publisher decided to shut down the servers.

Of course not, as that would make no sense in a game where you play as a person. But the engine is fully capable of it, either through console commands or the various flying vehicle mods for the game.
