Hey guys, I have been trying to teach myself all about computers and the basics of each individual component and so far so good. But I was looking into all the different CPUs and from what I had learned: i3=2 cores, i5= 4 cores, and i7= 8 cores. Unless they are hyper threaded, in which case they are doubled. However, when I was looking at different intel i7 processors, all of the sites said the i7s had 4 cores..? One had it listed like: # of cores: 4 # of threaded: 8. But I thought they had 8 cores, not 4?
Am I missing something? Im guessing I am just reading something wrong but I would sure like to know. Thanks!
