    task manager


    so this is just an information question. i see a hand full of people posting pics of their tack manager on here and it is showing twice ass many processors as they list on their system specs and if you lookup the board it is only a singalcpu board why doe it show 12 cores on an i7 6 core?
    here is what i am talking about mine is the 4 core pic

    Maybe Hyperthreading? I'm not too sure, I could be wrong tho.

    Hi

    Uber Philf is spot-on - what you may see are the 4 physical cores which are sometimes split into eight virtual cores when hyper-threading is enabled.
