AMD a8 6600k (cores )

[Rui Neves]

Hi ,
I want to know about the physical cores of my cpu (amd a8 6600k) ... How many physical cores do I have after all ?! I am confused because windows and EA said that i have 2 physical + 2 logical and most of websites sites says 4 physical and 4 logical :S
Thanks in advance .

Freaking EA... Bad coding. You have 4 cores, 4 threads, and 0 virtual cores.

Pretty sure the A8 APU's have 4 cores with their own cache.

The FX lines have some shared resources between the cores which is why arguably the FX 6300 is not a true 6-core chip.

I could be totally wrong though, we're all here to learn

EA IS bad. Bad support, freaking no-internet error apps, and awful games. (Except for Battlefield and Titanfall...)

that´s very funny , Ea said to me that i can´t play fifa 15 on high because I don´t have a physical 4 core and the recommended cpu is exactly that fx 6300 which is slightly better xD . But i am running fifa 15 at high (60fps) . EA is really shit ( never talk with they anymore :s )

Well, like we said, AMD A8-6600K has 4 cores, 4 threads. EA is an awful company! Everyone knows. That's why the game runs anyways.

yeah runs great , i think the real requeriments should be the requeriments that game debate website put as " ajusted settings"
