QOTW: How many cores does your desktop CPU have?

[Core2Extreme]

4 cores, 4 threads, 4 GHz. Been on the same Sandy Bridge chip since 2011. As much as the idea of more cores is appealing, I don't actually need more.

My laptop has 6 cores and 12 threads, though. It's superior for CPU performance, but is also noisier and has less storage, so I typically use the desktop.

It looks like single-digit answers don't appear, so...

[Andi-C]

i5 9600k, 6 cores at 5hz. Runs fine for most games and apps.

Ryzen 5 2400G so 4 cores and 8 threads. Can't complain really at the moment.

[Korrorra]

Only 8 cores. I really want 48. For the hell of it.

The machine I use on a daily basis Is my MacBook Air M1 - so 8/8.

Under the desk is a i7 8700k with 32Gb RAM, so 6/12. I switched it on once since buying the Mac ..

24 cores / 48 Threads (AMD Threadripper 3960x)

My current PC has an i7 875k with 4 cores/8 threads, but I have a PC on order from Scan which I'm waiting for, and that will have a Ryzen 7 5800x with 8 cores/16 threads. Hopefully I'll get that within the next couple of weeks! I would have liked a 5900X, but they haven't shown as being in stock for a long time.

Workstation: AMD TR1950x (16c/32t)
DevTestLaptop: Intel i7 (4c/8t)
HTPC: AMD APU 2200G 4c/4t
NAS: Intel Xeon 4c/8t

Next buy probably AM5 socket 16c CPU

i7 8086. 6 cores, 12 threads.

Ryzen 5800X (8C/16T). Pleased with performance, although it does run a little on the warm side.

I feel you, I run it under water on a massive, 9 fans and 4-radiators setup. And it never drops below 10 degrees over ambient, while my old i5 Kaby Lake ran 4-5 degrees over ambient.
They are fast, though.

[poshpaul]

Mines a i7 9700K - 8 cores, 8 threads.

[anselhelm]

Ryzen 7 5800X - eight cores, sixteen threads.

A poll would be nice, if possible.

[MarkOtley]

12 Cores.

i5-10400f - 6/12
Just upgraded from a 4/4 i5-4670k

[Presto86]

6 cores AMD 3600
