  1. Task Manager is only showing only half of my cores and logical processors.


    Hi, I just upgraded my CPU from an Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 to an Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400. It has 4 cores and 4 threads, but task manager only shows half of those. It says 2 cores instead of 4 and 2 logical processors instead of 4. I need help on how to fix this.I also checked the specs on the Intel website.

    :)

  2. Why does Task Manger shows half of the cores?

    Device Manager shows logical processors (which is 8), while Task Manger reports on both aspects (4 cores and 8 logical processors).

    Why does Task Manger shows half of the cores?

    Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

    AMD FX 8320 E processor with 16 GB RAM

    In Task Manager performance tab, it shows

    CPU AMD FX-8320E Eight-Core Processor

    Cores: 4

    Logical processors: 8

    In Device Manager, it shows 8 under Processor

    What is going on?

    Thanks

    Windows 10 Task Manager only showing half my cores.

    You probably do have only one core - but two logical processors. My own Device Manager seems to show 4 cores...

    - but there are only 2 cores in Task Manager that split into 4 Logical Processors...

    Right-click in the graph area, & change the graph to Logical Processors. I think you will see two of them.
