I see in the AMD spec that I have a 4 core CPU, no *-threading. So it is 4 core, 4 threads, no multi, simultaneous, hyper, etc. Still the sysctl hw.ncpuonline reports 2, but it found 4 and top displays CPU0 and CPU2 only ( that is 2). I am aware that each pair of cores is using a shared FPU. My qu

> you mean gaps because HT is disabled ? I think they are disabled from the factory, cores that are not 100% functional, i.e defects. There is one line for a family, the luckiest ones have the maximum number of cores and $$$, the rest are lower but still functional on the advertised cores.

I did set hw.smt=1 and all are shown now "online". I'm a little bit worry since I switched to this cpu from a 2 core AMD. Total mess in the CPU manufacturer yard. But we cannot produce our own cpu in the kitchen, can't we? # sysctl hw.smt=1 hw.smt: 0 -> 1 hw.machine=amd64 hw.model=AMD A8-5500B AP

Doing a wrap up, how an Intel i5 family cpu is seen by OpenBSD? The family has 4 cores / 4 threads per package. If someone can check please, with dmesg and sysctl. Thanks.

All this "mountain" stuff handling and like depends entirely of the person doing it. I hate it with passion (TM). Since he does it often, i think he likes it.

Hello, I am trying to test some disk i/o speeds and I am stumbled on two questions: 1. Does it matter if I set in BIOS Legacy or AHCI for the drive, regarding the read/write performance? 2. Can you suggest a sane disk I/O benchmark, writing from RAM to disk (i.e. cp /dev/null )? I am on snaps
