Hello there
Sorry for the stupidness, it's something I should know but I don't! I have looked around for an answer and I can't find a decent place which directly tell me there difference between a core and a thread. Now the reason for this question is that I'm thinking about building my second editing rig. Here is what I have;
AMD Phenom II x6 1055t (Cooled with Noctua NH-D14)
ASUS M4N75TD
8GB 1600MHz Kingston RAM
GTX 460 Super Platinum edition
750w Corsair PSU
Now the CPU I have has 6 core and it says 6 threads, so when I press CTRL + ALT + DEL and look at the performance why does it only have 6 modules. And only a friends Intel Sandy Bridge does it have 8 Modules 4 cores 4 threads!?
Now I want to move to this setup is it really worth the hassle and money for editing?
Intel Sandy Bridge 2500k (Will overclock to around 4.2 GHz and cooled by the monster lol)
ASUS P67
64GB SSD
(Then have all my other stuff from my current rig)
Many many questions but as always any help is appreciated
Cheers
Cain.
