VAP430 utilizes only 1 core of the dual-core processor?

I just got my VAP430 before the weekend. I've installed System Tuner (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.pmw) on it.

Then at CPU I saw that only 1 core is being used. Another core is offline.

Does anyone else see the samething?

I see the same thing. I also see it has 512MB of RAM and 2GB of storage. Too bad Vizio didn't make it 1GB of RAM... <sigh>

Unfortunately Vizio's return policy says it has to be unused condition and a minimum of 10% re-stock fee will apply anyway.

But I don't want to use a single-core device with only 512MB ram...I will sell my VAP430 and get this instead:

All of the Android news sites/forums are reporting it is 1GB RAM and 4GB of Storage...

I know it appears that way but the second core does not start until it is needed.
