https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=248454 --- Comment #3 from Konstantin Belousov <kib@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to dewayne from comment #2) Term hyperthreading has very narrow meaning, it is only applicable to Intel' CPUs. FreeBSD systematically uses term CPU as an execution agent that has independent ISA state. RISC-V calls them harts. Core is the single execution engine that can provide several OS-visible CPUs, where CPUs share some execution resources, and which cannot be 'split' into smaller chips. At least this is the terminology of CPU vendors. Sysctls descriptions should not be an educational resource. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
