What is Hyper-threading?

Another one of Intels proprietary technologies termed, "Hyper-threading," is basically parallelization improvements of data computations by allowing the operating system to percieve each processor core as two virtual processors, sharing workloads in tandem when needed.

Overall, this technology supplies improved support for multi-threaded operations and activites. Many PC games are built in this manner, its up for you to determine which games are of your preference.

How does this benefit gaming PCs?
By utilizing multi-threaded code built into current and upcoming PC games, multiple programs can be run simultaniously, without compromising graphic production and processor performance. This means you can be running an intensive game, with other applications operating in the background with limited interruptions.
