is there a way to check hyperthreading ??

[Noisyboy]

i have an i5-8250U.... and it is lacking the speed that u would expect from an i5 processor especially an 8th gen on

1. Right click on Windows icon in left down corner and enter Windows PowerShell (Admin)

Use the following command to enter the interactive wmic interface:

...> wmic

2. The following command will gather the number of cores and the number of logical processors:

wmic:root\cli> CPU Get NumberOfCores,NumberOfLogicalProcessors /Format:List

Result: If the number of logical processors is greater than physical processors (cores), then hyperthreading is enabled.

Example1:

C:\Users\Spock>wmic

wmic:root\cli>CPU Get NumberOfCores,NumberOfLogicalProcessors /Format:List

NumberOfCores=4

NumberOfLogicalProcessors=8

wmic:root\cli>exit

You can also verify hyperthreading in Task Manager Performance tab. See the attached image.
