The eight-core, 16-thread IntelÂ® Coreâ¢ processor Extreme Edition is Intelâs first eight-core client processor.

In IBM-compatibles, this will be an Intel or Intel clone (8086, 286, 386, 486, Pentium, etc). In Apple computers the CPU is a Motorola chip (6502, 68000, 68020, 68030, etc). The CPU often handles math operations (typically integer math), logical decisions, and memory control. In fact you may see the term Arithmetic/Logic Unit or ALU used to talk about the CPU or a portion of it.
