Title: Showing 4 cores when only 2 exist.
Post by: ressurex on August 24, 2018, 05:51:59 am

hi all.

my lobby dashboard gives me: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4210U CPU @ 1.70GHz (4 cores)

but the cpu is dual core and 4 threads.

this gives me an option to run two parallel openvpn instances  for example, but not 4 as i was mistakenly surprised to think, first time i booted my qotom unit.

isn't this misguiding ? or am I reading it wrong.

You can also run 8 instances with 2 cores, it doesn't depend on the number of cores since it's a normal process.
