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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. New ...

Intel’s upcoming line of high-performance processors has been dubbed “Arrow Lake”—that much is official. But rumors covered by our sibling site Extremetech (among others) suggest that these CPUs could ...

A new side-channel vulnerability has been discovered called PortSmash that uses a timing attack that to steal information from other processes running in the same CPU core with SMT/hyper-threading ...
