multithreading - explanation regarding multi-core processor vs multiple processors with single core -

i know os schedules thread , cpu executes , there direct relationship between no of threads , no of cores.is mean single processor multiple cores (say n) same of n single core processors, mean in both of these cases processing ability same or there difference?

yes, there difference, normal programming decisions difference insignificant , low-level.

intel® 64 , ia-32 architectures software developer’s manual contains explanation in chapters "intel® hyper-threading technology" , "multi-core technology"
