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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Dual-core CPUs have made their way into computers across the world and with quad-core processors poised to make the same invasion, it looks like the core race is on. Interestingly, Intel notes on its ...

Things are not looking good for Intel since the year 2018 began with Spectre and Meltdown exploits coming to light and AMD Ryzen slowly gaining on Intel. Now, another critical threat has been ...

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 ...

Home > Computing The Pentium G4560 with Hyper-Threading is a potent budget processor Intel's new Hyper-Threading equipped Pentiums offer excellent performance for very little money. AMD's Ryzen is ...

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 ...

Intel has shipped Hyper-Threading CPUs for well over a decade, even subtracting the Core 2 era when the technology wasn't used. For most of that time, Hyper-Threading has been a technology that 'just ...

The OpenBSD project is killing off support for Intel CPU hyper-threading due to security concerns regarding the theoretical threat of more "Spectre-class bugs". For those who came in late ...

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 ...

EDIT: Since publishing this article, myself and several other journalists have been looking a little deeper into the slide below and noticed a number of 'out of character' stylizations for a typical ...
