Hyper-Threading

Hyper-threading and Super-threading are offerings that are specific to processors manufactured by Intel Corporation. Hyper-threading allows a single processor to appear as if two separate processors exist. Super-threading allows a thread, or thread of execution, to be shared with a processor that has available thread resources.

For servers, hyper-threading is best taken advantage of by applications that are aware of and support hyper-threading, although the operating system may or may not need to be aware of the processor's ability. Hyper-threading support must exist in the BIOS and chipset of the server to take advantage of a hyper-thread-capable processor. Intel has combined the dual-core and hyper-threading capabilities in some of its more powerful processor offerings
