It's a single core CPU, not dual core.

In fact, the better way to describe it would be system-on-a-chip, or SOC. That one chip has the CPU, GPU, and a lot of other stuff shoehorned in.

Pretty much all the cheaper CPUs these days are actually SOC. All the ones which mention a Mali GPU have that GPU stuck on the same physical chip as the CPU.
