Hi,
If an Intel CPU has 4 cores and 8 threads will it look like 8 cores to
VirtualBox when assigning resources to a guest?
If so is there a way to determine which is a tread and which is
actually a core?
Thanks!!
Keith

In addition to the answers already given, you can read
about it in Volume 1 of the Intel Software Developer's Manual,
section 2.2.8.

As to your question, if you have a hyperthreaded CPU it will look like
multiple cores and there is no difference between them as far as
you're concerned.
