# cores

### cores

Reports details about each core your chip supports.

On chips that support Simultaneous Multi-Threading (hyper-threading) we return a core for each virtual core. So a CPU with 8 physical cores that supports hyper-threading will report 16 cores.

For each core we return

* Name - brand name of cpu
* Vendor 
* Architecture
* Socket - zero based socket no. Not supported on all systems and will return 0 in these cases.

The `Socket` represents a physical processor. Most PC and mobile devices only have a single Socket. Server grade hardware may report multiple sockets.

Example Values:

* 4
* 16

 Example:

```dart
import "package:system_info2/system_info2.dart";

print("Processors         : ${SysInfo.processors}");
```
