I think we also need to keep in mind that in 10 years nobody complained on those grounds. It's seems super contrived. If I the persona, that doesn't know much about a CPU, opens system monitor they'll see it report 12 compute units. The about module reporting "12 × AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor" seems rather consistent in that regard and easy to understand to the uninformed. "I have 12 doodads to do computer work. If I upgrade I want more than 12 doodads." So the persona goes to the computer person around the corner and asks them for an upgrade to more than 12 doodads. The computer person will install a suitable piece of hardware, after possibly offering the range of combinations that yield more than 12 doodads total. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
