i7-8750H Hidden cores? Does the 8750H have 8 cores and 16 threads?

Hi people
it is possible to unlock 2 more cores in this cpu? how can i do that? because throttle stop can use 16 cores to do the benchmark

Nnnnope. Intel doesn't allow unlocking of extra cores. How else can they overprice going from 6 to 8 cores?

if its not possible how can i do a 16 thread benchmark?

Your processor can 1000+ threads, but it won't be any faster than your 12 thread bench -- that's why you don't see a time diff between the two. they're both 9 seconds.

You can only run 12 threads simultaneously regardless of how many threads the bench launches.

A thread is just a unit of execution within a process:

The bench can launch as many as it wants, but the process won't complete any faster since you can only do 12 simultaneously.

The problem is in what you think a thread is and is NOT.
