This slide seems to imply that in this class there is no difference between a core and a processor. Is that true? I'm a bit confused, since intel i7 markets itself as a processor, yet has 4 cores...

I think that usually,
a processor is a single piece of silicon, which may have more than one core.
Before the age of multi-core processors, I suppose that core and processor meant the same thing, but now they don't, but sometimes people exchange the two terms.
