Good afternoon dear forum participants .I had some money and bought a computer
its characteristics
16 GB Ram
Amd a 8 8650(although they claim that there are 4 cores, but in fact I think there are 2 cores since there was a scandal with the AMD bulldozer)
128 SSD
My question is, is it possible to install Pepper Mint with only 2 cores?

Having owned an AMD A8 powered unit circa 2015 with 8GB of RAM. The short answer will be "YES". It ran Debian Gnome, a resource hog. Giving a slow but reliable journey.
The 16GB of RAM and the SSD being your salvation. An huge improvement upon my set up.

YES!
16GB of RAM memory is more than ample, with the SSD will compensate for the shortcomings of the AMD A8 CPU. Along with the suggestion of putting in an extra hard drive and setting up DATA partitions for more storage, you will have a serviceable computer the next few years.
If you are flush, an AMD graphic card would enhance your graphic pixels to be able to watch videos with clarity. Gaming I would suspect be pushing the boundaries and a bridge too far.

To find your computer specific values such as, how many cores or threads your AMD CPU has run this command in a terminal inxi -F .
The enclosed screenshot is the terminal printout of my Dell USFF desktop specs, the CPU it is dual core with 4 threads. I suspect your CPU will be dual core with 4 threads.

If you have space fit an old Hard Drive for storage and set up DATA Partitions: https://sourceforge.net/p/peppermintos/pepwiki/Data%20Partitions/ you will have a serviceable computer for a few more years.
Enjoy!
That is, you can install Pepper Mint on 16 GB?

The terminal writes 4 cores
Or maybe it’s that in the terminal it says that I have 4 cores but in fact there are 2 of them?
