Paul Otellini, vice president at Intel Corp., delivers one of the keynote addresses at IDF last week. The possibility of utilizing more of a processor's vacant resources has been vexing those inside ...

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 ...

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 has shipped Hyper-Threading CPUs for well over a decade, even subtracting the Core 2 era when the technology wasn't used. For most of that time, Hyper-Threading has been a technology that 'just ...

Hyper-Threading is one of those concepts that's been around a long time, and which everyone takes for granted. Despite that, relatively few enthusiasts really understand how it works or what the point ...

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 ...

Intel's powerful six-core, multi-threading i7-980X processor is finally being put to the test with the release of new gaming and graphics software capable of tapping many of the processor's 12 threads ...

It now looks almost certain that Intel is adding Hyper-Threading to its Comet Lake-S desktop processors and in a much bigger way than it did with its 8th and 9th generation Coffee Lake models. New ...

Intel's "hyper-threading" technology for boosting chip performance will debut soon with its first server versions of the Pentium 4 chip, the chipmaker said Wednesday. Hyper-threading makes a single ...

The OpenBSD project is killing off support for Intel CPU hyper-threading due to security concerns regarding the theoretical threat of more “Spectre-class bugs”. For those who came in late ...

At least 12 new Intel CPUs could be inbound under the Comet Lake-S banner and while they still sport a 14nm manufacturing process, the addition of Hyper-threading means each could pack a much bigger ...

Today Intel announced four new chipsets, all of which have built-in support for hyper-threading. I've poked around in the datasheet for the new 850E, and I haven't yet figured out exactly what new ...
