It’s the 8257U. a 15W, 4C/8T, Iris Plus 645 CPU. Thank you AMD, for getting Intel off of their lazy ass and bringing high core counts to everyone.

    Not everything needs to be multithreaded for the sake of it though. For example, websites and checking email. You don't really need more than 2 cores for those things to run well and I don't see why that would change. Especially since the internet has started moving into decreasing files sizes.
