SuperChunk, the A8-3850 is only capable of 1 thread per core, not 4 threads per core.

Hmmm. It must be copy/paste error when I added it. I looked everywhere I normally do and I can't find anything on threads per core, but it seems like they refer to one and instead AMD uses a new feature entirely.

idk, you're better at this specific tech that I am. I maybe you could expand on the differences in the CPUs as I don't think its as simple as the data I have in the 2nd post.

The AMD A8-3850 is not a multi-threaded CPU.   I don't think any mainstream AMD CPU is capable of simultaneous multithreading.  Even Bulldozer's "CMT" is more marketing than actual mutlithreading.

I did see one listing that displayed the number of threads as 4 which I can see why that would make it appear it does 4 threads per core but it actually means it runs 4 threads because it has 4 cores.
