Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology

More doing, less waiting

It’s simple. Many applications we use everyday perform multiple tasks at the same time. Where traditional processor cores can only handle one task at a time, Intel® Hyper-Threading™ Technology1 enables each Intel® processor core to perform two tasks simultaneously so that you spend less time waiting for your computer. By using resources more efficiently, Intel Hyper-Threading Technology increases processor throughput to provide a seamless experience.
