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 cores (made by hyper threading) are of course, less powerful than physical cores. but the I3 CPUs also have significantly more clock speed, with the I3 CPUS varying between 3.3 and 3.9 GHz, and the I5 CP...

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! ...

I am using sitecore 7.2 rev. 140228, We have some default tracking in Sitecore WFFM that could be seen in advance field under standard fields. Screencast Client asked us where is report for this tracking and where we can review this events etc ... I have tried but could not found any way to get this tracking report.

I saw this video on Youtube showing how windows users can get access to all the CPU standby cores. Can linux users do the same? If so, how? ...

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 coected 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, in this passmark test, the core-i3 6320 (desktop CPU) gets a score of 2245, while the core-i3 6100H (laptop CPU) gets only 1447 (and it is much more expensive, too). So, my question is: can I put a des...

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, you need to secure installation media from Microsoft. You can do that here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/.
