I guess your CPU has "hyper threading" abillities. This means, your CPU can simulate 2 separate CPUs (so called "logical" CPUs) with just one physical core.

Do a right click on the task bar at the very bottom of the screen, then do a left click on Task Manager, left Click on the performance tab and tell us how many little screens you see at the top. If you have more than one then you have a machine that can do mroe than one unit at a time. This would be either a HT, Hyper Threaded or dual core machine.
