Hyper-threading

Sometimes abbreviated as HT, Hyper-threading is a technology developed by Intel that was first introduced on the Xeon processor and later included on the Intel Pentium 4 processor. HT enables a computer processor to work more efficiently by having the capability of processing two sets of instructions at the same time, making it look like two logical processors. In addition, software that has been written for dual processor computers and/or multi processor computers are still compatible with HT.
