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 sort of the next step up from superthreading, and in order to help you understand hyper-threading, in this article I talk about superthreading as well.

What is Hyper-threading? Hyper-threading is Intel's name for a feature where a single processor can simultaneously run two threads. It's been built into the Pentium 4 since the start, but until ...

Intel's multithreading architecture. Hyper-Threading makes one physical CPU appear as two logical CPUs. It uses additional registers to overlap two instruction streams in order to achieve an ...

Actually, I'm pretty high on hyper-threading, but I think that, on the desktop, multithreading will only continue to creep in slowly over a long period of time.

Cost-effective Although hyper-threading allows each core to run two threads, it duplicates only certain memory elements, not all of the components in the CPU.

Intel, in contrast, has long used simultaneous multithreading (SMT), which they call Hyper-Threading, in which two instructions from different threads can be executed in the same clock cycle.

Hyper-Threading is a way to increase chip performance by executing multiple application threads at the same time. Effectively, the processor looks to the system as if it were two processors.

Has Intel's Hyper-Threading support become a fundamental security problem? Theo de Raadt, founder of OpenBSD, argues that it has.

It now looks almost certain that Intel is adding Hyper-Threading to its Comet Lake-S desktop processors and in a much bigger way than it did with its 8th and 9th generation Coffee Lake models.
