Windows 10 doesn't display all cores properly? (3700x)
Hello everyone, after completing my 3700x + x570-e gaming setup today, I realized Windows 10 doesn't display all my CPU cores. It labels the 3700x as an 8-core processor but shows it as 4 cores with 8 threads. Is this a limitation of Windows 10 or a driver problem?
It appears the system is detecting four processing units and eight threads.
In CPU-Z it displays 8 cores with 16 threads, though many applications operate using just 8 threads.
It was an issue with Windows that could be fixed using these instructions (source from another forum): https://forums.
