Virtual core in T-series processor

prasantahalder — Sat, 25 Nov 2017 04:08:06 GMT

Hi,

In the datasheet of quad core t1042 processor, I found that it's core virtual core. Does that mean t has two physical core with hyper threading? If not, what is the difference between virtual core and physical core?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Prasanta

The t1042 processor core (e5500 core) does not support multi-threading, this feature is available starting from e6500 core.

So, in case of t1042 "virtual core" is equal to "physical core" - t1042 device has 4 physical cores. This is said in T1040 Reference Manual, Table 1-1 and, also, shown at Figure 1-2:

Have a great day,
