Do they still make single cores with hyperthreading?And what if you run more than ONE program? Crazy, I know, but kids these days are running more than one program at once! They want it all, I tells ya! And hyper threading is only the start.
I don't think so. Sometimes I wish they would. But I guess a multi-core Atom is cheaper to manufacture. I did find a single-core Celeron, but it's old and doesn't have HT.Do they still make single cores with hyperthreading?
Celeron G460, G465, and G470 are the last Intel single-core processors with hyperthreading. All three beat the garbage Celeron J1800, J1900, and Pentium J2900 easily in terms of single-thread performance.Edit: I take that back - I found one! Still somewhat old, though, but it's LGA1155.
At some point (eventually), Im going to upgrade to some Core i CPU, and Im wondering how well hyperthreading technology works. Does it really increases perfomance? Affects in some way any application, like those not built specifically for multithreading?
Well,gaming basically.I'm a software developer and Hyper threading really helps parallel compilation (up to 50% faster).
I haven't found any other significant advantages; but faster compilation was enough for me.
HT tends to help with severely loaded cores - so if you plan on eeking out the last bit of cpu performance with many threads running at once, great go for HT, but if you run at 50% (say gpu limited) then it won't really provide much gain
