What are the differences between a thread and a core in a CPU?
In: 14
A thread is an instruction that needs to be processed
A Core is a brain that can process a task.
The more cores a processor has the more tasks it can perform simultaneously.
Applications can be single threaded meaning that all of its instructions have to be processed by 1 core, or multi-threaded meaning that it’s instructions can be broken up and run by multiple cores simultaneously.
