The gap between the Core i3-6100 and the Core i5-6500 still remains significant. It illustrates that in this day and age, a quad-core CPU still delivers potent performance gains compared with a ...

For most of the past decade, Intel has followed a fairly steady set of rules when speccing out its Core i3, i5, and i7 processors. Until last year, Core i3 chips were dual-cores with Hyper-Threading ...

The chipmaker's "hyper-threading" technology for boosting chip performance will debut soon with its first server versions of the Pentium 4 chip. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and ...

Sounds like a thread from 2002 ... I'm trying to confirm whether a CPU in an HP DL380G4 running Solaris X86 is dual core or HyperThreading, this makes a difference of about $16,000 in Oracle licenses.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Intel Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 CPUs have been around for a few years now, but some buyers still get stumped whenever they attempt to build their own systems and are forced to choose among the ...

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 ...

Back in January 2009, I published the first half of my groundbreaking study on multicore support under Microsoft Windows. The article featured an in-depth look at multicore/multiprocessor performance ...
