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 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 ...

A bunch of Intel 15 th-gen specs have just leaked online, not only confirming that Intel is dropping DDR4 support from its forthcoming CPUs, but possibly also ditching Hyper-Threading. Details of a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Hyper-Threading Technology Allows Software to "See" Two Processors Instead of One Nov. 14, 2002 – Intel Corporation today introduced its innovative Hyper-Threading (HT) Technology for the new Intel® ...

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 ...
