1 Note: For Intel CPUs the instruction set and actual number of CPU cores of your model can be checked on http://ark.intel.com. The corresponding specs are denoted by "Instruction Set Extensions" and "# of Cores". All 4th Gen Intel i7 processors (i7-4xxx) support AVX2 instructions.
Please note that stereo processing in NxLib cannot efficiently use Hyperthreading technology, as on these CPUs two cores share their arithmetic units and can thus not process SSE or AVX instructions in parallel. Therefore it is not sufficient to check if your Windows TaskManager shows 4 separate CPUs, because this number also includes the Hyperthreading cores. The number of cores including hyperthreads is denoted by "# of Threads" on Intel's website, but NxLib performance will only scale with "# of Cores".
