Then a Core-I7 is just 4 beefed up Arduinos? Mbed has RTOS support, so you can make different threads, however it still has only one physical processing core, so it cannot process mulitple threads at the same time.

But at the moment you can't compile the mbed-rtos on the Nucleo platform. Under development ...

Is this still true? Would appreciate some comment on this

I am also a noob, but Stanly Chen's modified mbed-rtos library is working on my Nucleo-L152RE, can his modification be easily done for the F401? http://mbed.org/users/stanly88/code/mbed-rtos/
