Intel Hyper-Threading Technology improves the utilisation of onboard resources so that a second thread can be processed in the same processor. Technology provides two logical processors in a single processor package.

Hyper-Threading Technology offer:

• Improved overall system performance
• Increased number of users a platform can support
• Improved reaction and response time because tasks can be run on separate threads
• Increased number of transactions that can be executed
• Compatibility with existing IA-32 software

Code written for dual-processor (DP) and multi-processor (MP) systems is compatible with Intel Hyper-Threading Technology-enabled platforms. A Hyper-Threading Technology-enabled system will automatically process multiple threads of multi-threaded code.
