What is Hyper-Threading?
Hyper-Threading technology is an innovative design from Intel that enables multi-threaded sof
parallel within each processor resulting in increased utilization of processor execution resource
of ~40% in CPU resource utilization yields higher processing throughput.
How Hyper-Threading Works
right-hand configuration represents an Intel Hyper-Threading technology based processor. You can see that the architectural state for
each processor is duplicated, while the execution resource is shared.
