Hyper-Threading Technology

Hyper-threading officially Hyper-Threading Technology or HT Technology, abbreviated HTT or HT

The hyper-threading technology found its roots in Digital Equipment Corporation[4] but was brought to the market by Intel. It improved support for multi-threaded code, allowing multiple threads to run simultaneously, improved reaction and response time.According to Intel the first implementation only used 5% more die area than the comparable non-hyperthreaded processor, but the performance was 15–30% better
