RE: What is HyperThreading?Tell me abt Windows V...
 
Hyper Threading is intels version of a Multithreading. It duplicates the front end of the processor Core attempting to schedule / Guess where it can put threads to beter utilize a semi idle processor. The intel Implementation was heavily flawed and suffered from Bad branch prediction. On most server implementations it is adviseable to turn Hyperthreading off. Also in processor intesive games, Battlefield 2 ... Hyperthreading causes frame lag. If you turn Hyperthreading off you get better FPS.
