Artem S. Tashkinov <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #12 from Artem S. Tashkinov <[email protected]> --- The current wording conflates three different concepts: CPU package, core, and logical processor. Displaying `8 × AMD Ryzen 7 3700U` literally suggests the system contains **eight** Ryzen 7 3700U processors, which is factually incorrect. The kernel exposing eight logical CPUs does not make that an appropriate user-facing description. This isn't about adding technical complexity; it's about avoiding misleading terminology. A concise summary such as: `AMD Ryzen 7 3700U (4 cores, 8 threads)` or `AMD Ryzen 7 3700U — 4 cores / 8 threads` is simultaneously: * more accurate; * easier for non-technical users to understand; * more useful for technical users; * and **consistent with how operating systems, hardware vendors, and reviewers** describe CPUs. If the topology cannot always be determined, falling back to "8 logical processors" would still be less misleading than `8 × AMD Ryzen 7 3700U`. The goal of an information center is to present **hardware information accurately**. The fact that experts can mentally interpret the current wording does not make it a good user interface. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
