Here are various workflow situations, what helps to work faster for these, cores or threads?
I know this is a very big question...but I'll attempt to get an easy answer anyways 😉
System is i5-8400, 6 cores , 6 threads, plenty of RAM, so not a decisive parameter
1. 6 Google chrome tabs open at the same time
Would that run a core or a thread per tab?
2. 6 programs open:
-Notepad
-Chrome
-Adobe Illustrator
-Firefox
-MS Excell
-Oracle Virtual Box
Would that run 6 cores, 6 threads? One for each program?
Trying to determine this because thinking of upgrading to a CPU, but not sure to seek more cores or more threads, this is ONLY for productivity, NO gaming whatsoever 😉
