    Actually it's not. For whatever reason amd chose to market it as cores.

    In reality however BD is more akin to 4 cores / 8 threads as they share resources.

    I have said this since the beginning.

    There are however other reasons for calling them cores.

    Example you can disable HT with intel.

    AMD's design to my knowledge however does not allow for disabling a core in a module, I could be wrong however.

    I've got no strings to hold me down.
    To make me fret, or make me frown.
    I had strings but now I'm free.
    There are no strings on me
