Hyperthreading

What is hyperthreading?

Hyperthreading is a technology developed by Intel to improve the performance of processors. It enables a physical processor core to act as two logical cores and thus process several tasks simultaneously. This increases computing power without adding additional physical hardware.

Advantages and applications

Hyperthreading improves multitasking capabilities and speeds up processing in performance-intensive applications such as video editing, 3D modeling and gaming. It increases efficiency and ensures better use of available resources. Companies that rely on virtual machines and cloud services particularly benefit from the improved processor performance provided by hyperthreading.
