Question What is the least amount of threads a cpu can have?

[shadybk]

I know as technology advances cpus receive more and more threads so they can run faster. Does anyone know what is the least number of threads a cpu on the market currently has?

The least I have seen is 4, do cpus exist with only 2 threads or 1 thread?

By market I guess I mean what you can buy from retail, so not second hand like eBay.

Yeah, Intel Celerons are available with just 2cores/2 threads as @ElectrO_90 said. I don't believe there are any single core CPUs currently sold.
