I was looking at their products today and noticed this:
"Intel Core i3 3.1GHz Quad-Core Desktop Processor"
Intel never made an i3 quad core, as far as I know. Does anyone have any experience with these folks? Honest mistake or don't know what we're building?
Yup, all i3's were only dual-core. i5's were a mix of dual and quad core.

Could just be an error in the description. Contact them and see what it's actually supposed to be.
I'm sure it was a simple mistake. Paul makes a nice product.
That being said we also make a great product and have some sweet unadvertised show specials going on now. Feel free to shoot me a message and check us out at VPcabs.com
Also just noticed you are not far from Allentown. We can bring you a machine to the show and save on freight charges.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. It was definitely a typo or incomplete edit when updated to Quads, which has been corrected. Every PC purchased had an i5, 3.2GHz Quad Core Processor installed when they went to Quad Core. We are currently using ASUS SABERTOOTH Z97 MARK2 motherboards, as well.
We will definitely be in Allentown, and we're offering FREE SHIPPING in the Continental US for orders placed during the show. Talk to Joe at the Pinball STAR booth, next to WOZ, Hobbit, MMR, and AMH!
See you there!
Quoted from JonH123:Anyone know if these virtual pins from these companies can support better arcade mode in future pinball at maximum settings?
VirtuaPins certainly can. We put a lot of power under the hood in all of our units. Even the minis can run the most demanding software and the sound output will rival any jukebox, to boot.
With hyper threading (not sure if i3 has it or not) 2 physical cores become 4. Maybe it's just marketing.
Quoted from huo:Maybe it's just marketing.
yes

It's better to list the more then just the speed
Core i5-2500K 3.3 GHZ
or some thing like
Intel Core i7-4790K Devil’s Canyon Quad-Core 4.0GHz
I have see other web sites selling pc systems with poor listing for what cpu is in the system. It's more then just I3 / I5 / I7 and a speed
also stores like newegg also don't list the Max. Turbo Frequency as the cpu's speed as well in the short DEC.
