The technology behind Hyper-Threaded, or HT, and multi-core processors enables processors to far exceed the performance of single-core, non-HT processors. The differences between the technologies are ...

This may already be answered in another thread but here goes anyway. Suppose I have a 4 core processor with 8 threads of hyper threading. Let's take the Intel I7-4770K as an example. Does the fact ...

Hyper-Threading is one of those concepts that's been around a long time, and which everyone takes for granted. Despite that, relatively few enthusiasts really understand how it works or what the point ...

I used to follow the processor business very closely and go to Microprocessor Forum, the premiere show in the industry, every year. One of the arguments made by the hardware geniuses, although never ...

Most of Intel's microprocessor chips have a feature the company calls "hyper-threading." The technology improves performance in complex software environments by more efficiently juggling multiple ...

Intel first introduced Hyper-Threading (HT) technology with is Xeon CPU architecture back in 2002, over 20 years ago now, with simultaneous multithreading technology allowing physical cores inside of ...

A thread in programming terms is the flow of control within a program, the path taken through the instructions -- a bit like the sequence of thoughts you have when working something out. It's ...

Again, I tested this pretty extensivly back when Intel first released the hyperthreaded P4, mostly so I could explain to my customers what to expect. I have had several people say things like "I have ...
