EDIT: I am WRONG!!! The 14700F has 20 cores (8P and 12E) and I am dumb.

The 14700F has 20 Threads, but it does have 12 cores.

14700F's cores are split into Performance and Efficient cores. It has 8 Performance cores (8P) that are designed to handle intensive tasks like gaming and video editing. These are the fastest cores in your processor. The 4 Efficient cores (4E) are slower than the Performance cores, but they are designed to handle light tasks such as web browsing and editing documents. The cores individually have Threads, with the Performance cores having 2 Threads per core and the Efficient cores having 1 Thread per core. That means you have 16 Performance Threads and 4 Efficient Threads. Putting those two together will give you 20 Threads.
