hyperthreading is an i7 8 logical processors but 1 physical, home will only support 1 physical. but unless u crunch or do encoding its not a big deal as u can disable hyperthreading and run cooler and a little faster when not using more than 4 cores.

i dont see why people buy home, its not much cheaper than pro and its missing major features, back in the xp days people who had the knowlage to build a computer only bought pro why did the change to home with vista and up happen
