Hi
I'm a bit confused with the difference between physical and logical cores, particularly with the i5 4670K. I've read it has 4 cores and 4 threads, but does that mean it has 4 physical cores or just 2 physical and 2 logical?
Using a power supply calculator just out of curiosity - to see how much power is being used - there's a counter option, which says 'CPU count applies only if the system has more than 1 physical CPU'. Thinking that meant it would need to be set to 4 (4 physical cores/CPUs?) it bumped the overall wattage, along with everything else selected, to over 800W+, which can't be right otherwise my whole system would have locked up by now.
Thanks
