E: 12/06 Win A Hewlett Packard PC Worth £1000

Click Here register or log in with Stuff


We've teamed up with AMD to give one lucky reader an HP Pavilion PC with AMD Phenom 9500 Quad-Core processor, worth over £1000.

With one of these babies, you can finally toss out your clapped out old PC. No more sitting around, waiting for things to load all day for you, my friend.

For some sharp video and gaming action, it's packing an Nvidia nForce 430 chipset and Nvidia GeForce 6150 SE graphics card, along with 2GB RAM to keep everything running quickly. For the serial archivist, there's a 500GB hard disk for storing all your media files.

To complete the package, it also comes with Wi-Fi for connecting up to your home network and is loaded with Windows Vista Premium. There's even a remote control for sofa-based viewing. Tasty.


Question: How many more cores than an apple (the fruit) does an AMD Phenom processor have?


Answer: 3


Good Luck :D

    Isn't the answer actually 3 as the question asks how many more cores than an apple does the processor have? - an apple has one core and the AMD processor has four, hence it has 3 more than the apple.
