    The description at that link says Turion 64 X2 TL-64.

    The X2 in the name means dual core. There's a useful guide to current CPUs here.

    If you want to see some benchmark results then visit Tom's Hardware.

    And just for further confirmation, it is dual core.

    ok thx

    but I was confused with info at shop-s description...

    it says that this notebook has turion tl-64 2200 not turion X2 TL-64 2x2200 and didnt know if this was the same processor...

    so, is it 2200MHz or 2x2200MHz that was my question :)

    ...thx again..

    The TL-64 is a certain CPU the single cores have different names like I think MK or ML. All TL's are dual core.

    Yeah, any Turion processor beginning with the model name TL are dual core and in the case of the TL 64 both cores run at 2200MHz, so yes you are getting 2 cores running at 2200MHz each. However that does not mean that the effective clock speed is 4400MHz.
