Dual Core OMAP4770 or Dual Core A9?

[migrax]

Does the HD/HD+ have dual core OMAP4770 Processor? I have just done some reading on the TI OMAP4770 and apparently it has 2 Cortex A9 cores, so I was thinking that if the Nook HD+ has dual cores, it may indeed have 4 Cortex A9 cores (2 OMAP4770's = 4 Cortex A9's). Just speculating.

The TI OMAP4470 is a System on Chip. SoCs embed general purpose processors among other things such as radio basebands, graphics processors, etc. The OMAP4470 has 2 Cortex A9 cores and 2 Cortex M3 cores. For all intents and purposes it is a dual core A9 SoC. The Nook HD and HD+ each have 1 OMAP4470 SoC not 2.
