Is Intel 520 (P4 2.8GHz) a dual core CPU?

I bought a Intel 520 CPU with Intel motherboard (915 chipset)about a year ago.

Recent I found I could view 2 CPU graphs in Windows Task Manager. Does this mean 520 CPU is actually a dual-core CPU. Any more technical info I can found?

Thanks

Howard

Intel 520 is a Pentium 4 with HyperThreading (HT) Technology.

Hyperthreading Technology is a way to increase performances, but less than than SMP or Dual Core Technology.

CPU 0 can be considered as complete and the other is only logical.
