WHAT IS HYPERTHREADING?

Intel Processors with HyperThreading Technology (HT) trick OS’s and Programs into thinking there is two processors installed on a system. When a program is run, it opens threads, pathways, to the processor. If these threads are very busy, or a process is taking up threads it isn’t using, another program either cannot run, or runs slow because it cannot “take over” these threads. With HyperThreading, you have more pathways, but it goes to the same place.
