gollark: This is mostly two-way, i.e. two threads per core, however some enterprisey ones go to 4 or 8; this has diminishing returns because more and more of the execution resources are already used.
gollark: So when the core is waiting on memory access required for one thread, say, it can run the other one in the meantime.
gollark: Most modern CPUs support "simultaneous multithreading", where one core can run multiple threads by switching between them *very* fast (without OS intervention/context switches, I think). You might expect this to make them slower, and sometimes it does, but each core has a bunch of resources which just one running thread may underutilize.
gollark: Basically, "cores" is the number of physical... concurrent... processing... things on the CPU, and "threads" is how many tasks they can run "at once".
gollark: It's fine. Probably.
