cores

What timeframe did Processors under 10 MHz, 100 MHz, 1 GHz and 2 GHz occupy? What was the timeframe of Dual-core Processors, of Quad-core Processors, of Hexa-core and Octa-core ones and of such harboring more cores still? I have the general idea regarding all those questions but within the...

If you could get a 1.4 GHz CPU with 24 cores, a 2.8 GHz one harboring 12 cores or a 5.6 GHz one with 6 cores which would be your ultimate choice? I personally would go for cores over cycles. The impalpable beauty of more cores resonates thoroughly through lesser heat dissipation and curbed...

Hi all, so I have the following processor : 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700HX 2.10 GHz. According to Intel's spec page it has: Total Cores -16 # of Performance-cores - 8 # of Efficient-cores - 8 Total Threads -24 I need to set affinity for a program to just the P cores, and my system...

I have this habit of opening 3 or more games simultaneously so that way if I ever get tired of playing a game, I just move onto the next one open. I've noticed that when there are 3 games open, specifically Yakuza 6, Team Fortress 2 and Resident Evil 4, the FPS drops especially in RE4, so the...

We all know that on paper the 5950X has four more cores and twice the threads compared to the 5900x, but when it comes to how each core was architectured, engineered and made, is there a difference there? Because if the only difference is that AMD decided to just add four more physical cores...

Anybody remember the Core i7-990X from 2011? It used to be a big thing. Anybody remember the first Pentium 4s from 2001? Anybody remember 486 processors from 1991? Well that's going quite back in time. We've currently got consumer CPUs with 24 cores / 32 threads and the potentiality of hitting...

If you had to swiftly decide between running a system with more cores at lighter frequency or a system at higher frequency harboring less cores what would your decision be? Example: 12 cores @ 2 GHz 6 cores @ 4 GHz I would ascertain in the affirmative my inclination toward the Processor...

I have a Ryzen 5 3600 i was undervolting my cpu in my bios while stress testing it and a hour later i noticed my cpu threads were cut in half. My cpu has 6 cores and 12 threads but night now its 6 cores and 6 threads. iv tried the msconfig method and it doesn't work, iv tried turning SMT off and...

Running tests with an i7 12700K. I notice on many different utility softwares that the usage is different. Just curious but does anyone know what numbers I should really be expecting or trust? OS: Windows 11 Cyberpunk 2077 Task Manager: 85-100% total usage. Stream Deck CPU Tool: 5%...

My Ryzen 7950x is only showing 8 cores in and adrenaline and hwinfo64 and hwmonitor. I have pbo on and amd expo enabled is this why it’s only showing half my cores?

Hello, I've been working on server for the longest time, over 20 years, and since they use big amounts of data, the more cores the better for computing. Always been a console person, plug'n'play, but I intend to buy a pc for gaming/video editing for my lectures. My question is about gaming, and...

My understanding was Speed Select Technology (SST) - Incorporating SST-CP/BF/TF where specific cores clock higher and reduce lower priority, P1 of specific cores increased and reduces for others and high turbo frequency P0n reduces for others respectively. What exactly controls this? Speed...

Full specs can be viewed here: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/54019421 only four cores are activated and when i check Ryzen master the other 4 are "sleeping". i checked the bios but didnt see an option to enable all cores, any help would be appreciated

Quite simple question that I cant seem to find an answer for. I have determined that my CPU is currently failing due to many many test, my Fifth core (virtual core 10) keeps throwing errors and causing BSODs. As my processor ( I9-9900k) is still within its 3 year warranty I'm currently just...

Hi, A novice question here. I have a particular game where its confirmed that for my CPU running 6 cores creates CTD, but 4 does not (or 8). Can I create any permanent issues using AMD Ryzen Master to disable 2 of the 6 cores, and giving the aforementioned solution a try?

Good day, This question just popped out of my head, if PBO (the automatic overclocking feature of AMD) is enabled on Ryzen processors, does it mean that the overclock frequency that PBO can provide the CPU apply to all cores? For example, if the PBO feature enables the 5900x to reach 4.5ghz, is...

I was wondering if more cores will produce more heat. Will frequency also be a factor in the production of heat? A Ryzen 3 2200G and a Ryzen 5 3600 has the same TDP which is 65W, but does that mean that they'll produce the same amount of heat? If this was already posted before and was already...

Hello friends, I've had this problem since a few days now and its annoying and also putting up alot of questions marks. For a few days now CS:GO has been running really poorly on the cores 14 - 12 - 10 - 8 of my ryzen 7 3700x. Weird thing being that it has been giving me the most FPS on those...

I am playing the new flight simulator on my pc. I dumped 2200 into new upgrades. I have noticed that I can't get my frame rate up past 40FPS. the system says that it is limited by the main threads. when I check I see that core 0 and core 12 are doing most of the work while the other 13 cores...

Hi! I am getting a low-end laptop for me to use when I go away from my home, or to relax elsewhere rather than my desktop. I was wondering, would a 4 core 1.8GHz processor be better than I 2 core at 2.1 GHz, I'm pretty sure it is the 4 core because it is a better multitasker and the clock speeds...

So I been seeing everywhere on YouTube saying how you should enable all of your cores in “msconfig.” But on my motherboard BIOS menu, I can enable all of my cores there. Does it matter which one I choose? What one should I do?

Apart from amount of cores and frequency, is the CPU cache amount important for gaming. for example, how much difference would a a 12 mb cache make compared to a 16 mb cache?

I have Amd FX4300.It has 4cores and 4threads.But the Task manager is only showing 2cores and 4logical threads.But when i check in CPUZ it says 4cores and 4threads.But when i do a benchmark on cinebench r15 it also says 2cores and 4 threads.But i also have changed from msconfig to max no. of...

Hi, so I'm just getting into the PC world and finally decided to slowly upgrade my PC which currently is: Intel Celeron G3930 H110M PRO-VH PLUS 4 GB of Ram I'm thinking of getting a i5 6500 to upgrade my CPU first but i cant decide if should do that or get another 4 GB of ram instead. It is...

I have this problem i don't know how to fix. I have a AMD Athlon x4 860k Quad core processor and it only shows 1 core and 2 logical cores. In device manager i can see all four cores. And i even tried msconfig, boot and advanced options there i could only select 1 or 2. I checked UEFI and there i...

Ok so I have bought a Intel confidential CPU from eBay it was sold as an Engineering sample under the Title of E5-2650 v4, I have been running the CPU for some time and works OK but when I went to see what could be done with OC I found some strange anomalies in the CPU files as you can see on...

Hello. My processor is i3 3240 3.4ghz. my processor has 2 cores and 4 threads, i want to know if i should choose 2 cores in bluestacks or should i also select the threads which is 4. If i select all will bluestacks speed up? and How about my Operating system resources needs?

I have a ryzen 7 2700 8 core processor but it only shows up as one core in the task manager. I have also tried msconfig but it also shows up as 1 and there is no dropdown to change the cores. I have also went to my bios and set the SMT option to auto (there is no enabled). Other third party...

3 cores of my 6 core processor are always asleep, not just staring at it on my desktop doing nothing. It happens even if i play games or anything else cpu heavy. Could it be related to the precision boost overdrive in ryzen master or some other bios settings? Thank you fro any response.

This is what I found: https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-9700F-vs-Intel-Core-i5-7640X/m816132vsm310543 i7: 8 Cores, 8 Threads 3 GHz i5: 4 Cores, 4 Threads 4.00 GHz I get that the i7 has more cores and is more efficient. But surely the i5 is better because of its clock speeds...

I have had this desktop PC for around one and a half years. Until about a month ago, it was as fast as the day I bought it. (I have an SSD with this PC, if that helps at all). I tend to mess around with BIOS a lot, but nothing normally happens. About a month ago, i noticed the option to change...

I have some stuttering issues in a few games, and I was thinking that if I upgraded my 4 core i3 to something with more cores, the stuttering would be diminished. I'm still on a budget, however, and all of the i5s I saw were 6 cores, which I wasn't sure was enough to get rid of the stuttering...

I've been looking into building a PC on the cheap side lately and while at first I looked at low-end consumer parts like last-gen Ryzen 3 and 5, I also noticed that on eBay there are a ton of used Xeon CPUs with lots more cores than the low-end consumer chips and can be found dirt cheap...

I have AMD FX 6300 . I past few days i was getting some error when booting and i would just select default and my pc was performing very slow. Task manager is showing only 1 core. My CMOS battery is not depleted and need to be replaced. So, none of my bois BIOS settings remain saved. Could that...

Hi guys, So I've been having this issue with my PC shutting down randomly over the past while. It just powers down with no warning and then turns back on. The time between shutdowns is completely random, ranging from days to minutes. After trying to reinstall windows, trying a new power supply...

I reduced my cores from 4 to 2 with msconfig (Boot>>Advanced options>>Number of Processors). Now my CPU is permanently on 100%, and when I go back to msconfig, I only see 2 cores as the highest option. How can I get the option of 4 cores back? I'm using an Intel Core i3-2350MCPU @2.30GHz...

Just upgraded my computer, Motherboard: asus z390-f Gaming CPU: Intel i9-9900k So the installation went well and things are working, my bios shows 8 working cores all enabled with hyperthreading enabled aswell. But my taskmanager says I have 4 cores insteed of 8. Someone please help!

The CPU I have is a Ryzen 5 1600x. It is a 6 Core processor which I bought when I was making my new PC. It says I’ve only got 2 cores and 4 Logical processors. I am using my old version of Windows as it didn’t prompt me to install windows when I started up my new build. I’ve tried going into...

How do I fix this?? I recently upgraded from an i5-6402p. It wont let me post images for some reason. But basically it says i have 2 cores and 4 threads in the cpu-Z. I ran the intel processor identifcation to make sure it was a good processor since I bought it from someone on Amazon...

i want to get a new cpu, but i dont know if i should get the 9700k (8c/8t) or the 8700k (6c/12t). It is the same price for me, but should i choose more cores with less threads or the other way around? The purpose of my pc is gaming.
