Hyper-threading
Technology Enables or disables the hyperthreading function of the
processor.
When enabled, one physical processor acts as two logical
processors by "threading" two sets of data instructions
in parallel streams for processing. The processor can
then simultaneously manage incoming data from
different applications without losing track of the data
processing status of each.
