Just curious really...
In AIDA64 you can view the temperatures for each of the six cores of an i7 3930K. You can also view CPU utilisation for all 12 processes (sorry, not sure what the correct terminology is!) but are the 12 processes ascribed to the Cores in a logical fashion? i.e. processes 1 and 2 apply to Core 1, processes 3 and 4 apply to Core 2 and so on?
Yes its call Hyper threading. Each physical core is capable of handling 2 threads. A thread is a piece of software code that is executed by the cpu. This action is seen by windows as a logical core, there for a cpu with 4c8t is seen by windows as 8 physical cores. In your cpu case it has 6 physical cores 6 logical cores, 12 cores seen by windows.
Thanks for that. :up:
So are certain Cores generally utilised more than others or does the CPU controller select them at random?
