Solved DXdiag says I have 4 cores, is this with hyperthreading?

[Jaypaul97]

On DXdiag and control panel it says "4 cpu's" and when I open up task manager it also shows just 4 boxes. Doe sthat mean I have 4 physical cores? Or is DXdiag counting my threads as physical cores?

Yes you have 4 cores.

What cpu do you have ?

 

[Jaypaul97]

An intel i5 650. Most sources say this is a 2 core CPU with hyperthreading...as in 2 physical and 2 hyperthreaded.

 

[AddRAM]

you are correct, well half correct.

ARK | Intel® Core

 

[Jaypaul97]

So...do I have 4 physical cores or two basically?

 

[AddRAM]

you have 2, didn`t you click on the link ? It tells you everything.

 

[Jaypaul97]

Oh now I see it. Thanks okay.

Darn! Scammed. I wish I knew then what I know now...I'd have backhand slapped the guy when he sold me it telling me it was a quad core. Oh well.

You should have researched it first, now you know.

If he told you it was a quad core, and it isn`t, return it and demand your money back.

If you`re good, mark the thread solved.
