Just for clarification

I have a laptop with an Intel i5 processor, to be exact an Intel i5 3230m. I am wondering I know it is a mobile processor and I know it has 2 cores but when I go to dx diag to check how many cores it has, dx diag says that it has 4 cores. That part got me confused. Could it be that it has 4 cores or its just an error in the system?
