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.

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 ...

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 ...

Simultaneous multi-threading is a useful performance tool for processor designers, but it doesn't have the same benefit that adding a full core does.

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.

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.

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.

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.
