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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Last month, we reviewed the HP Z620 workstation and came away impressed with the system's performance and flexibility. Today, we're headed back to answer two additional questions. First, should ...

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 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 ...

Chipzilla is likely to pull hyper-threading for the first time since the technology was first launched in the Pentium 4 era in the early 2000s. Intel is set to perform another node jump in 2024 for ...

The chipmaker's "hyper-threading" technology for boosting chip performance will debut soon with its first server versions of the Pentium 4 chip. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and ...

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 ...
