Surely many users want to know the number of cores that your Windows computer have. This is not a piece of information that is known to most users. But the reality is that obtaining this data is not complicated. In fact, there are several ways to achieve it. So if we want to know the number of cores in our team, we simply have to carry out a few simple steps.
We don't need to install anything nor do you need to be an expert to have this information. We have programs that give us this information, but it is something that we can find ourselves on our Windows computer with ease.
There are several methods to know the number of cores that our computer has. So we show you all of them, so that you know them, and you can choose the one that is most comfortable for you at all times. Ready to meet them?
Task Manager
The first method on the list, and possibly the simplest and known to most users. We have to open the task manager of our Windows computer. To access it we use the key combination Ctrl + Alt + Del. And from the options that appear on the screen we select the task manager.
Once inside, we go to the performance section, which is at the top. The options in this section are then displayed on the screen. We look at the left side and click on CPU. It will show us the reference information and we have to look for cores. We also have sockets, which is the number of processors in the CPU. This is the number of cores that we have in our computer.
So we have already obtained this information in a simple way. The data of cores and sockets appears at the bottom of the screen, as we show you on the screen.
Manufacturer information
A fairly simple way to obtain this information is to search for the processor of our Windows computer on the network. Simply enter your name in Google, and we find all the information about it and thus know the number of cores. It is another very simple way to know this information. We can also go to the manufacturer's website.
Or the specific model of our computer. So in this sense we have enough options to find the data with a simple search on the web. You can also use this method to know the number of cores.
Use the MSInfo32.exe command in Windows
The third method that we can make use of in this case is somewhat more complex. It is a good option for those more expert users. We are going to execute a command on the computer, which will help us to know the number of cores we have on our computer. First we have to open a Windows run window on the computer.
To open it we use the key combination Win + R. Then a run window opens, where we have to write "msinfo32.exe" in the text box that appears in it and then we give it to accept. After a few seconds a new system information window opens. In it we have all the data about our computer. So it is a window that we can use on more than one occasion, to have the complete data of our team.
Here we have to look for the processor section. It is there where we find the information that interests us, the number of processors in our Windows computer. We are going to see the number of cores of each physical CPU and the number of processors in the computer.
So we simply have to take note of this information and we already know the number of cores we have in the computer. As you can see, each method is different, but all of them will be very useful to have access to the information. We hope it has been useful to you.
