Hyperthreading
Enable this only if you have an Intel Hyper Threading processor.
Hyper-Threading Technology enables multi-threaded software applications to execute threads in
parallel. Hyper-Threading Technology provides thread-level-parallelism (TLP) on each processor
resulting in increased utilization of processor execution resources. As a result, resource utilization
yields higher processing throughput. Hyper-Threading Technology is a form of simultaneous
multi-threading technology (SMT) where multiple threads of software applications can be run
simultaneously on one processor. This
is achieved by duplicating the architectural state on each
processor
while sharing one set of processor execution resources. Hyper-Threading Technology
also delivers faster response times for multi-tasking workload environments. By allowing the
processor to use on-die resources that would otherwise have been idle, Hyper-Threading
Technology provides a performance boost on multi-threading and multi-tasking operations for the
Intel NetBurst® microarchitecture.
