What is 4 cores and 4 logical processors mean?

Logical cores are the number of physical cores times the number of threads that can run on each core through the use of hyperthreading. For example a 4-core processor that runs two threads per core will have 8 logical processors.

What is a logical processor in a CPU?

Logical processors subdivide a server’s processing power to enable parallel processing. A logical processor is perceived by Windows as a processor, and each logical processor is capable of executing its own stream of instructions simultaneously, to which the OS can in turn assign simultaneous independent units of work.

What are logical cores?

Logical cores are the abilities of a single core to do 2 or more things simultaneously. This grew out of the early Pentium 4 CPUs ability to do what was termed Hyper Threading (HTT).

Are logical processors the same as cores?

Physical cores are number of physical cores, actual hardware components. Logical cores are the number of physical cores times the number of threads that can run on each core through the use of hyperthreading. for example, my 4-core processor runs two threads per core, so I have 8 logical processors.
