>In 2013 AMD released CPU's on the FM2 platform that while technically were dual core, could in practice be considered single core by the majority of applications
Wew lad, I'd hate to be someone who got stuck with a CPU with single core-tier performance in 2013.

Didn't most if not all FM1 or FM2 CPUs get considered as being hypethreaded CPUs?
I vivdly remember my A10-5800K (thank god I got rid of this underperforming lackluster, unstable as fuck even on a top motherboard craptastic CPU), as being detected like a dual core with 4 threads. I think that even FM2+ and rarely AM4 gets detected the same.

Yes, quad cores were detected as dual cores with hyperthreading, 6 cores were detected as 3 cores with HT, and so on. That's why I found thses CPU's so funny, it has one module and two cores, which means programs would read it as one core. basically a Pentium 4 HT.

I have one of those CPUs. They're pretty shit but whatever. I got it in a used laptop for $150. Came with 8 GB RAM and SSD.
