Most modern desktop processors have several cores to split up tasks, and in newer hybrid CPUs, some of them are designed for different tasks. If you’re on AMD, the top-end chips have up to 16 cores, while if you’re on Intel, you can look up to a whopping 24 cores. AMD’s Threadripper processors are designed to have far more cores than your typical desktop CPU, mostly for media production and servers, but we haven’t seen non-workstation versions of those since 2019, when the Threadripper 3000-series was launched with up to 64 cores. Now, Threadripper is back and better than ever.
