CPU setting in BIOS

I am setting up an ASUS P8H61-M LE/CSM with the new kind of BIOS and am confused.
The CPU is an I3
In BIOS , the setting for active Processor Cores defaults to " all".
If that is selected, the task manager Performance bar shows 4 cores.
If I change the setting in BIOS to " 1 " the task manager performance bar shows 2 cores.

I know that the I3 is dual core.
Why does it show 4 cores when " all " selected, and what should I set in BIOS?
All or 1 ?
Thanks
Roy
