Hyper-Threading (HT) Technology is a groundbreaking innovation from Intel that improves PC responsiveness, produces performance gains of up to 25 percent.
Hyper-Threading Technology makes a single physical processor appear as two logical processors; the physical execution resources are shared and the architecture state is duplicated for the two logical processors. From a software perspective, this means operating systems and user programs can schedule processes or threads to logical processors as they would on multiple physical processors. From a micro architecture perspective, this means that instructions from both logical processors will persist and execute simultaneously on shared execution resources.
HT Technology provides a significant performance boost that is particularly suited to todayâ„¢s business computing climate, applications, and operating systems. HT Technology enhances the Intel Pentium4 processorâ„¢s micro architecture to enable a single Pentium 4 processor to execute two threads simultaneously. This improves performance by allowing operating systems designed for HT Technology to utilize processor resources that otherwise would sit idle. In deploying Intel Pentium 4 Processor with HT Technology PCs, IT organizations gain more performance to run background tasks such as virus checking, e-mail encryption, and file compression, thereby making the overall infrastructure more robust, manageable. End users see an immediate performance impact in todayâ„¢s multitasking environments, with increased responsiveness on current operating systems, applications, and background tasks. HT Technology requires:
A computer system with an Intel Pentium 4 processor supporting HT Technology
A Hyper-Threading Technology enabled chipset and BIOS
An operating system such as Microsoft Windows XP Professional or certain versions of Linux that are optimized for HT Technology.
HT Technology is now available for the desktop across a range of performance and
system price levels.
