That is how it seems. And for some reason Hyperthreading gives that character data more processing headroom since while it allows additional threads it is still a single logical Core.


I haven't compared this to an i3 Dual Core with Hyperthreading although it could be limited by processing power anyway because I have used one of those G3250 Anniversary CPUS (Dual Core Haswell that you can overclock) @ 4.5Ghz and it was terrible being constantly pegged at 100% usage.
