4 cores, 8 threads.

well yah thats what i meant but still i thought it was 4 core/4 threads. thats how it was advertised. no hyperthreading

All modern processors can have two threads per core, so yeah, it is hyperthreading.

I thought intel went away from hyper threading due to security risks?

@LizziAS

Did you get this CPU already and up & running?

Right now, they LITERALLY can’t go away from it and continue to sell processors. Since AMD’s all have SMT as well, and are being literally made on a process node that’s MULTIPLE generations newer (even if it’s not the best 7nm and is only about inline with the density of Intel 10nm), they couldn’t hope to compete if they had to bring all the physical cores to bear. Rocket Lake even shows how hard it is to compete w/ still being on 14nm since on the desktop their top chips will only have 8 cores, DOWN 2 cores from Comet Lake.
Or put another way, ALMOST EVERY Intel chip right now outside of the Atom designs has hyperthreading available, and enabled.

I did. It’s working but in the old ab350m -ds3h. With 32 gb ram.

The new mb broke while I was screwing down the heat sink. My screwdriver slipped of hot the mother board and took out a capacitor thingy hooziwidget something or other. Since Amazon sent a replacement and refunded my money previously there’s no further remedy to be had there.

I’m pretty sure I did less damage to computers in all my whole life than I have these past couple of days and crochet may be the better option.

If there is ever to be a next computer I will by one fully assembled

Sorry that happened. I also slipped with the screw driver and it bounced off the board on my Ryzen. I was lucky i didn’t put a big scrape or gouge in it. It happens to the best of us. How does this Ryzen 3 work? I’m sure it’s way better than most Intel i3 dual cores. lol

Keep the faith … and don’t give up. Set backs happen. It’s okay. You just have to pick up the pieces and carry on.

with 4 SSD
for 2 SSD there is a openmandriva ( version Zen ) installed , and EndeavourOs ,
on each SSD with their own Grub for distribution DE
( 2 SSD is on Raid1 GhostBSD )

change is easy with F12 , and boot on another disk
same config UEFI is applied for all

and??? I prefer to not use uefi

and??? Why? I’m interested in knowing why. :thinking:

then read this about “bios”
https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Intel-Legacy-BIOS-EOL-2020

Oh boy intel said they are doing something let me just stop everything because intel says so. This is the same intel who said they were ending hyperthreading because of security issues?

for any manufacturer motherboard
validate a cpu and boot with UEFI & “bios” means
→ validate in Secureboot Efi no Csm
→ validate in Secureboot Efi with Csm
→ validate in no Secureboot Efi with Csm
→ validate in no Secureboot Efi with no Csm

that 4 validations in ANY CASE EACH TIME

suppress CSM & Legacy
only 2 validations

since 2015 all motherboards are in EFI ( maybe some workstation may have keep bios )

So what

I run UEFI, but I like old BIOS better. I almost only run business computers so I at least avoid all the graphics that motherboards have nowadays in the BIOS. I want it clean and tidy!
