Q: Looking at common CPUs for PC building and the specs for the upcoming next-generation consoles, I’ve found myself wondering: Will we need 8-core, 16-thread CPUs for gaming soon? No, not in ...

Your CPU core isn't a single unit. Even putting aside things like L1 and L2 caches, and the registers where the core loads and stores values, modern processor cores have numerous functional units ...

VideoCardz has reported on a photograph received from a "reliable source", showing a lineup including a supposed next-gen Intel Core i7 vPro CPU that hosts eight cores and 12 threads.

The Ryzen 7 2700X CPU in this PC has 8 cores and 16 threads (“logical processors”). That’s all you have to do to find out your core count.

For Intel, a processor like the Core i9-14900K is a great example. The ‘14’ indicates the generation, where the ‘900’ notes where that processor lies in that generation’s lineup.

AMD has confirmed the existence of Ryzen Threadripper, a 16-core, 32-thread processor built on a new desktop platform.

Those prices compare favorably to Intel. For example, a 28-core/56-thread Xeon Platinum processor costs around $10,000 to $13,000.

It has 32 cores and 64 threads to throw at workloads, and is 53 percent faster in multi-threaded tasks than Intel's flagship Core i9-7980XE, according to AMD.

At Computex 2016 in Taipei last week, Intel announced their newest lineup of processors which included a brand new 10-core Extreme Edition processor. The focal point of Intel’s new line-up of ...

Intel announced a new family of “Core X” desktop processors at Computex today, offering even more powerful versions of its existing Core i5 and Core i7 models, along with a new, top-of-the ...
