To learn more about these steps, continue reading. Note: For your information, the threads are also known as Logical Processor(s). It is probably the easiest method to find the CPU cores and threads ...

Modern CPU designs are amazing systems that contain a number of cores and can handle a number of threads per core during a running application. With many applications having been created or rewritten ...

Just a week after Apple quietly upgraded their Mac Pro line to use 3.33Ghz quad-core Xeon CPUs comes our first good look at the processor that will likely drive the next significant refresh of the Mac ...

This is in sharp contrast to Intel’s pricing strategies, which have tended for years to run more toward “pick the CPU you can afford” than “pick the CPU that fits your needs.” The best example of this ...

Microsoft Azure CTO Mark Russinovich utilized a monster 420 logical processor virtual machine to play Tetris using the CPU core list in Windows Task Manager. To do this, Russinovich redirected the ...
