How many cores I have?

[VietKing]

I own a AMD FX-6300 Six-Core Processor. So I assume it would have 6 cores. I open up task manger and when I look at the CPU page it says "Cores:3". I'm computer noob please help.

Simple terms

Amd got 3 cpu cores

cut them in half

now u have 6

 

If you don't understand that

You have 3 starfish

You cut each starfish in half

If you don't know starfish can regrow their body parts

now you have 6 whole starfish

It has three modules, each containing two cores.

Intel and AMD have vastly different (and confusing) naming schemes, Intel has cores and threads but AMD has modules and cores.

 

Basically: it has two cores in each of the three modules. In some (nay, most) applications, it acts like a six core. In others, it's kinda like a tri-core. It's very confusing.

Right click on the CPU Graph in task manager and click "Logical Processors" Under "change graph to"

In CSGO there is a command to run the game with 3 and 6 cores. Anyone know which I should use?

make it so it mulicore more cores balences CPU load

use more Cores because AMD is pretty good with multi core performance, Single core is a different story
