Is there a difference between hyperthreading & coredue technology?

[IHAB]

Hi all

 

I need your advice guys to purchase a new workstation, now whats the difference between hyperthreading & coredue technology,,

 

what I mean to say that do they realy make a diffrence ?

I beleave that there nothing like a physical multiprocessor workstation

thanks in advance

hyperthreading using the left over threads in each clock cycle to add extra information, this info is then put back together and can be calculated making the a single processor that bit more effiecient. A dual core is actually 2 processors built into a single chip.

 

Dual Core is quicker than a single hyperthreaded processor overall, but i'd suggest that each individual core of a dual core is slower on its own than a hyperthreaded single chip.

 

Hope that makes sense, there is plenty of info out there so maybe try searching this board for more answers or try googling it.

James, thats probably a good explanation, but i think IHAB is a complete novice on the subject and your post would be complete gobbldeegook to him

 

IHAB - basically, hypathreading is a single chip fooled into thinking it's 2. faster than a single chip on it's own, but no great shakes.

 

a dual core has 2 chips processing, which, like a dual processor, can turn out to be twice as fast as a single chip even with HT.

fooled into thinking it's 2

:D

 

Thanks James & ofcourse Steave

so now there is a difference bet. hyperthreading & coredue technologies:)

this explains why i felt very upset trying hyperthreadinding after the former PIV 2.4Ghz.

Hope the coredue tech wuld b better...
