What is the number of threads per core

2,211 Views

Greetings,

http://ark.intel.com/products/53464/Intel-Core-i7-2640M-Processor-4M-Cache-up-to-3_50-GHz http://ark.intel.com/products/53464/Intel-Core-i7-2640M-Processor-4M-Cache-up-to-3_50-GHz

In the above sandybridge processor i see that Number of cores is 2 and number of threads is 4

Is this 4 threads per core or 2 threads in core1 and 2 threads in core 2?

Sorry if this question has been asked earlier.

Tomcandy, there are going to be 2 threads in 1 core. Please check the following link for additional information on this feature. I recommend you watching the video posted on that page https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/hyper-threading/hyper-threading-technology.html Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology
