Hyper-

Threading

Technology

Enables or disables the hyperthread- ing function of the processor.

When enabled, one physical processor acts as two logical processors by “threading” two sets of data instruc- tions in parallel streams of processing. The processor can then simultaneously manage incoming data from different applications without losing track of the data processing status of each.

Note: When a processor does not sup- port the Hyper-Threading feature, this parameter will be grayed out.
