Folks:
Here's a curious thing. I have a 10th gen Intel i3 CPU with four cores.
When I look at /proc/cpuinfo, it actually shows eight cores. There's a
line in the output of each core which is
cpu cores : 4
But there are outputs for each of eight cores, numbered 0 through 7.
Is it possible that there were eight cores on this CPU, and four of them
were non-working (I know it's typical to have non-working cores on a
die), and this file shows all the original cores?
Or does someone have a better explanation?
