Which Intel Atom 2 does the 316 use?

The reason that I ask is that it says that it's a dual core Intel Atom 2.  However, iSTAT shows 4 cores.  Does this particular Atom have hyperthreading, or, did Netgear change to a quad core, and never updated its docs?

 

  • It's a  2.13 GHz Intel D2700 dual-core (with hyperthreading).

      Thanks!  Oh well, I was hoping that they had been upgrading processors. :D

        You may have just bought your unit but your NAS was built quite a while ago now.

        The 316 has always had the same CPU since it was launched.
