I have this specification:
Case
THERMALTAKE TOWER 100 VERTICAL GAMING CASE
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12 Core CPU (3.8GHz-4.6GHz/70MB CACHE/AM4)
Motherboard
GIGABYTE A520I AC: Mini-ITX, AM4, USB 3.1, 6GB/s - RGB Ready!
Memory (RAM)
32GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 2400MHz (2 x 16GB)
Graphics Card
1GB NVIDIA GEFORCE 710 - DVI, HDMI, VGA
1st Storage Drive
1TB PCS 2.5" SSD, SATA 6 Gb (520MB/R, 470MB/W)
Power Supply
CORSAIR 450W CV SERIES™ CV-450 POWER SUPPLY
Power Cable
1 x 1 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead)
Processor Cooling
STANDARD AMD CPU COOLER
Thermal Paste
STANDARD THERMAL PASTE FOR SUFFICIENT COOLING
Sound Card
ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)
USB/Thunderbolt Options
MIN. 2 x USB 3.0 & 4 x USB 2.0 PORTS @ BACK PANEL + MIN. 2 FRONT PORTS
First question: My present computer (also from pcspecialist) has this processor:
Intel® Core™ i5 Quad Core Processor 10300H (2.5GHz, 4.5GHz Turbo)
In the R statistical software if I issue this command: parallel::detectcores() I get the answer 12. Why not 4 (= Quad)? Or, to put the same question anor=ther way, will the AMD processor give an answer bigger than 12? I am actually not sure this is a fair question here!
Second Question: The spec seems to say that there will be at least 2 USB front ports and more on the back. There is no place visible on the case I have chosen where these ports might go. So will I get at least 6 USB ports?
