No, it's been shown that HT for dual core drivers doesn't work like real dual core.yevaud said:When HT is enabled on an XP machine, the system 'sees' two processors. If an app is multithreaded, both of these virtual processors can get loaded- but in single thread apps only one gets the load. This is why I'm asking the question. I know that an HT proc is not a true 'dual core' chip.
BBA said:I have to agree with fromage...HT is NOT dual core. The system does look like it sees two cores, but it does not really 'SEE' two cpu's and the CPU's will not handle two seperate threads. The CPU does report loading as two CPU's but you will never see anything greater than 100% total load as a combined result of the two cores such as if one core is operating at 80%, the MAX the other core will be at is 20% and vice versa, both could show 50% but never above that amount simultaneously.
With a true dual core CPU, you actually can simultaneously load both cores to 100% each with seperate threads.
