O Ubuntu não está usando 4-núcleos

Question

Meu processador de notebook tem 4 núcleos físicos. mas o Ubuntu está mostrando apenas 2 deles. O que posso fazer para fazer o Ubuntu usar todos os núcleos?

$ sudo lshw -C cpu

Answer 1

Seu processador não é um quad-core, é um dual-core com Hyper-Threading: Intel.com: ARK | Processador Intel® Core ™ i7-4500U (4M Cache, até 3,00 GHz) .

Assim, sudo lshw -C cpu também diz isso:

configuration: cores=2 enabledcores=2 threads=4

Isso significa que o processador tem dois núcleos físicos, mas cada núcleo físico é virtualizado da Tecnologia Hyper-Threading da Intel em dois núcleos lógicos para que o sistema seja capaz de lidar com quatro threads no momento em vez de dois. De Wikipedia.com :

% bl0ck_qu0te%

E isso explica coisas como o fato de você detectar quatro núcleos em vez de dois, por exemplo, em System Monitor .
