Is 4 cores 4 threads enough for gaming and streaming?

4 Cores is not recommended for streaming. For gaming 4 cores is manageable, but for streaming the availability of more cores can ease the load on the CPU and help with multitasking. A recommended amount is 6 cores at the least, but can also depend on what CPU you buy too.

Are 4 cores and 8 threads enough for gaming?

It will still be good for gaming for a long time as long as there are games that don’t specify more than 8 cores as the minimum required hardware. Most games depend on decent GPU power and RAM to achieve performance. CPU only matters for CPU-bound work and most dual core/four thread processors are more than capable.

Which is better a 2 Core 4 thread processor or 4-core?

The 4 core 4 thread processor would be better. In the 2 core 4 thread processor two threads are competing for each individual core, they have to share instruction prefetch, instruction pipelines, and context switching between the two threads introduces some speed loss as well.

How many processes can run on a four core processor?

On a four core CPU, four independent processes can run. The two threads share the same L1 cache, thus, you have half the per-thread cache of the four core processor, for the same basic processor type.

Are physical cores better than hyper-threads?

Yes physical cores are better than hyper threads. The CPU has 2 cores, the work is performed by that 2 cores, but it pretends to be 4 threads to speed up it’s work. Read this CPU Basics: Multiple CPUs, Cores, and Hyper-Threading Explained.

How many cores does a 4c/8t CPU have?

This means that the 4c/8t CPU will be roughly equivalent to 5.2 physical cores. The only exception to this would be applications that scale weirdly with thread count (I cannot think of any examples of this but I am sure that there are some that exist).
