Especially this FIRST part: "A *multi-core processor* is a single computing <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computing> component . . ." So, it is a SINGLE component. To me, CPUs means having more than one CPU component, such as dual CPUs or even quad CPUs which used to be fairly common. I have a single CPU computer. It has 4 cores but a single CPU. I hope to upgrade one day to a 8 core CPU. I'll still have a single CPU component installed tho. This is getting really funny.
