> The vast majority of computers still only have 2 or 4 cores (in fact it has become impossible to find a 4 cores ultrabook, something that existed a few years ago - Vaio z series).

This is entrirely false. Intel i7 current generation models have 4 cores. Are you trying to say that it's hard to find an ultrabook with one of these chips?

Not the low power versions of that chip, they're dual core.

If you find one let me know! Even Microsoft's ultra-everything Surface Book ships with a 2 cores CPU. The standard even for high end ultrabooks is 2 cores.
The closest I think you'll come is an MSI GS30. While it's very small and light for what it is, it might be a bit big to really be called an ultrabook and the battery life is pretty terrible if you actually try to use that CPU.
Good to know. Thanks!
