It could be that you're using Turbo Boost at it's highest frequency, which on some models means all but one core is disabled (to reduce heat). That sounds pretty likely. Check your BIOS and try disabling Turbo Boost.

Also, what does Windows Task Manager say about all of this?

Hi Shonumi,

These are my system specifications.

I use Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to keep the increased Turbo Boost constant by playing with the voltage settings. It's the extra juice, I need apparently to play Wii and GameCube games at maximum settings.

Hi,

Yes, it is.
