And if yes, how can one set certain sets of cores (different in quantity) to different users? ...

I have been searching around and comparing specifications to build a budget gaming PC. On the Intel site, i have been comparing CPUs and I noticed that the I3 CPUs, while only having 2 physical cores as usual, have 4 threads, meaning that they are hyper threaded. But with the I5 CPUs on the other hand, they have 4 physical cores and 4 threads, meaning that they are not hyper threaded, which is kinda weird for intel to hyper thread the I3s and I7s but not the I5s. As common knowledge, virtual cor...

Can we also say 2 CPU 2 socket processing power is close to half as compared to quad core(obviously will be visible in case of multiprocessor)? My above understanding is based on this link ...

My CPU has 18 cores, and, due to hyperthreading, 36 logical processors. However, VMware player's highest option in settings is a 16 processor virtual machine. Is there a reason for this? I have tried Googling, but have been able to find no answer. This is frustrating, as I would like to bring all my computational resources to bear. I am on a Windows 10 host, using VMware Workstation 12 player to virtualize Ubuntu 16.04, and I have a Xeon E5-2697 v4. Let's block ads! (Why?)...

I need to monitor cpu usage per core or at least total % used. I can't use top because I need to sandbox the app. As the sandboxed apps cant run setuid commands. So, is there any method to obtain the information? Thanks! ...

Are there any technical disadvantages to using a tri-core processor? The only device I can think of (of the top of my head), that uses a tri-core core processor is the Nintendo Wii u. ...

This is a mirror-image of this question: Can I put a laptop Core i7 CPU in a desktop? I would like to buy a laptop that I will use mostly at home and at the office. I need a laptop rather than a desktop because I need to be able to carry it between the home and the office. But other than that, I will use it mostly connected to electricity. Laptops usually come with specialized CPU versions, that are optimized for low power-consumption, but are slower than their desktop counterparts. For example,...

You certainly can upgrade, according to this article: http://www.computerworld.com/article/2899229/microsoft-reveals-who-gets-windows-10-and-how.html ("Upgrades will be possible from older versions, including the original 2009 edition, Windows 7 RTM (for "release to manufacturing"); Windows 8; and Windows 8.1 RTM. Those devices, however, will be upgradable only from installation media, like a DVD or USB drive, loaded with a disk image downloaded from Microsoft's servers as an .iso file."). So, y...

This problem started a few month ago where this occurred a few times randomly but could be fixed with 1-3 reboots. Now this is a permanent problem:When my PC boots it takes about 5sec until my watercooling fans start to tu at 100% RPM, about 10sec later when the desktop appeared and I instantly start SpeedFan it tells me that core temps are already at 80-90°, half a minute later they are all on 98-100°C. But even after a few minutes at this temperature (didn't want to try it longer) I do not get...

I am interested to replace my BIOS on my Thinkpad x220, because I want to remove the white list for other wifi cards. At first I was thinking to use a modificated BIOS from one of these russian boards, but I don't trust them. I found out, that it's possible to use coreboot/libreboot. I'm a little bit scared to do it, because I don't have tools to recover the original BOIS on the chip. So what's the best way to install coreboot/libreboot on my x220? Let's block ads! بخوانید...

My hard disk drive is always busy, even in SAFE Mode with or without networking. In Normal Windows, the computer will occasionally freeze with a black screen and the computer needs to be tued off in order to get it to work again. I have McAfee Antivirus protection always tued on but have tued it off to see if this might be the culprit. No effect by tuing it off. The task manager shows 99% idle time yet the hard drive is very busy. I have run the following software programs with no avail: 1. McAf...

I have a Dell Inspiron n5110. It has a Core i3 processor, and 3gb RAM. I have been told that I can install a maximum of 8gb RAM in my system. When I run Android Studio on it (while a Google Chrome browser with like 5 tabs open, and a Genymotion emulator are running as well), it is PAINFULLY slow. Eclipse used to run fine. So if I increase the RAM of my system, will it let me run Android Studio smoothly? That is to say, can increasing the RAM increase my laptop speed by (ideally, atleast) 3 folds...

Intel Core i7-4770K core speed Is my i7-4770K running at higher core speed than it should? The core speed is usually around 3.9 GHz according to CPU-Z. I expected it to stay close to the processor's base frequency (3.9 GHz) and not always at max turbo frequency (3.9 GHz).I haven't overclocked. Windows 10 power plan is set to high performance.

I was tinkering with overdrive on my MSI GX70 with windows 7. I tried fiddling with CPU cycles and it asked me do you want to disable the TurboCore, which it did. However, now I can't seem to tu it back on. I tried uninstalling and deleting the directories and restarted and then reinstalled. I also tried to search for any option in the BIOS but to no avail. How can I fix this? Please help. Let's block ads! بخوانید...
