A thread in programming terms is the flow of control within a program, the path taken through the instructions -- a bit like the sequence of thoughts you have when working something out. It's ...

This may already be answered in another thread but here goes anyway. Suppose I have a 4 core processor with 8 threads of hyper threading. Let's take the Intel I7-4770K as an example. Does the fact ...

Intel’s upcoming line of high-performance processors has been dubbed “Arrow Lake”—that much is official. But rumors covered by our sibling site Extremetech (among others) suggest that these CPUs could ...

I used to follow the processor business very closely and go to Microprocessor Forum, the premiere show in the industry, every year. One of the arguments made by the hardware geniuses, although never ...

Haven't really put much thought into CPUs lately, but had this come up and I'm disappointed my Google-fu did not find a good answer I remember hyper-threading, where a core was 'pseudo-divided' into ...

A supposed leak listed on an unsecure Chinese forum (now removed) suggests that Intel will not provide hyper-threading technology on its ninth-generation Core i7-9700K processor. This news is notable ...

Most of Intel's microprocessor chips have a feature the company calls "hyper-threading." The technology improves performance in complex software environments by more efficiently juggling multiple ...

Intel's multithreading architecture. Hyper-Threading makes one physical CPU appear as two logical CPUs. It uses additional registers to overlap two instruction streams in order to achieve an ...

If you are a gamer or tech freak then this must be interesting for you. You might have heard about Hyper-threading technology. But, do you know what's the difference between Hyper-threading and ...

A new side-channel vulnerability has been discovered called PortSmash that uses a timing attack that to steal information from other processes running in the same CPU core with SMT/hyper-threading ...
