My CPU (FX8350) is listed as 8 core 8 thread and I have one WU per available core going.  Do the newer CPUs that have 2 threads per core have two WUs per core running or does a single WU use both threads.  I'm fairly ignorant of CPU architecture and really have no idea how the magic happens.

    In most projects it will run one task per thread. So 8 cores 16 thread CPU will run 16 tasks at a time.
    Some projects using an app_config file you can have 2 or more threads work on just one task.(Multithread)
    The LLR primegrid tasks are an example of multithread projects

    Thanks. I thought that might be how it worked but wasn't sure.
