With the upcoming launch of Intel's Prescott core looming on the horizon, the term "hyper-threading" is getting more and more play in the press as Intel prepares to kick its PR campaign into high gear ...

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 ...

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 ...

Today Intel announced four new chipsets, all of which have built-in support for hyper-threading. I've poked around in the datasheet for the new 850E, and I haven't yet figured out exactly what new ...

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 ...

At first, we had single core CPUs. These CPUs were clocked at a certain speed and could deliver performance at that particular speed. Then came the age of CPUs with multiple cores. Here, every ...

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 ...

Documents leaked by renowned leaker @yuuki_ans on X reveal that early Arrow Lake samples have Hyper Threading disabled by default, which to some has implied that Intel may be looking to launch its ...
