I have a 6 core (2CPU+4GPU) but task manager says Cores: 1
I have a AMD A6 6 Core (2CPU 4GPU) but Task Manager says I only have 1 core. I opened Blacklight Retribution and it said that I don't meet the minimum requirements for dual-core but I have 2 CPU cores. CPU-Z says I have 2 cores. Thanks!
Your post got my attention because I am considering building a new computer. I looked up the AMD A6 CPU and found there's a lot more to the model number such as A6-5400K with is a dual-core, a Search finds that there's also quite a few quad-core so having a complete model number is most important in finding an answer.

I don't have a Change Graph To option. Where would I find this? There is a category for Logical Processors but no graph and it says 2.

Yes I know I have a dual core, but it says I only have 1 core.

Maybe it's a single core but dual threaded (2 logical processors)? Unlikely though.
Looked it up on the AMD web site and that is what it shows:
The AMD A10-7700K and AMD A6-7400K CPU Mini-Review
Module = processor
Thread = logical processor
So it's a single core, dual threaded CPU.

Ok, thanks for the answer. Do you know what the step up from that processor is with 2 actual cores? Thanks.
