Discussion How many cores does your CPU in your main system have?

[Order 66]

I would like to know how many CPU cores people have in their main systems. I know that AMD made some triple core CPUs in the early 2000s. I also know that 1 of intel's extreme edition CPUs had 18 cores.

Are you wanting P cores and E core totals and AMD C cores as well?

LGA1700
6p/4e
6p/8e
8p/4e
8p/8e
8p/16e

Ryzen 8000 series
2+4c
1+3c

yes, but I would also appreciate if people would say what CPU they had as well.

12 on my 5900x, I got another system beside me I use for my media server with a r5 5500 6core.

I do have a Phenom II x3 B75 its a triple core, I did have a board that could unlock that last core, and was able to get to 4ghz on them all, but I don't use that system anymore and sold the board lol.

6 Cores on i5 10600kf

My primary machine has an i7-6900K, secondary i7-6800K, and server 12700K so I selected 8 core on the poll.

i5 13600K, 6p/8e (14)
edit -
old 3750K, 4 cores

Just curious as to what manner of server, if you don't mind sharing? It would seem to me a better use case for the fastest/powerful CPU to be your main PC but, of course, I have no idea what you are doing with it...

As to the topic:

Main rig 11900K 8C/16T
HTPC 11600K 6C/12T
Work 10105 4C/8T
Work 8400 6C

Desktop - 5600x - 6 cores
Omen laptop - 9750H - 6 cores.
Dell Latitude - i5 7300u - 2 cores

if anyone wants to, I've decided to allow the selection of multiple responses as I'm noticing that people have multiple "main" systems that they use daily.

I also selected 2 as my school's Chromebook that I use daily has a lowly 2c 2t celeron.

I had honestly forgotten about the 7950x. I was assuming that people with 16 or more core CPUs would have Intel Extreme Edition, xeons, or threadrippers.

Didn't know that CPU existed, and also interesting that it has been discontinued already.

I can feel that pain. I have been working with a G3900 for what was envisioned to be a low power, low noise theater PC. It actually does fine with Netflix and such, but the moment anything tries to go on in the background like an update or such things quickly deteriorate on the UI side. I have a 6600 (locked) CPU on the way for it that I hope will remain low noise in respect to cooling.

The worst part is, that my Celeron is running ChromeOS, and even then it is barely usable. I had a similar laptop from my old school that was running Windows, and the CPU was at 100% on the desktop.

My NAS has a Celeron N3160, and is very very fast.

24/7 recording from 2x security cameras, nightly backups, playing movies out to 2 different systems, music to a 3rd...all at the same time, seamlessly.

um, how? I don't understand how that can be fast. Even my celeron in my windows laptop would struggle playing youtube videos, and video encoding/decoding would be very taxing on that CPU. I guess the fact that it has 4 cores would help, but it's still only at a max of 2.24ghz.

 

[COLGeek]

My NAS has a Ryzen R1600 2c/4t. It is super fast for what it does. The OS and apps are optimized for it and that makes a huge difference in terms of relative performance.

Better OS software.

What OS are you using? even with windows and ChromeOS, (and by extension linux) it is almost unusable.
