Intel's Hyperthreading Technology (HT) is being blamed for server performance problems. With both SQL Server and Citrix Terminal Server installations, HT-enabled motherboards show markedly degraded ...

Intel's hyperthreading technology, which aims to improve the performance of its processors, is being blamed by some technologists for server performance problems. With both SQL Server and Citrix ...

Last month, we reviewed the HP Z620 workstation and came away impressed with the system's performance and flexibility. Today, we're headed back to answer two additional questions. First, should ...

As we've come to learn recently, there are four new hardware vulnerabilities that affect Intel processors. These new flaws allow attackers to leak confidential data by exploiting microarchitectural ...

One topic hotly debated throughout the history of server virtualization is that of hyperthreading. Some claim that hyperthreading can increase a VMware host's performance, while others claim that ...

This may already be answered in another thread but here goes anyway. Suppose I have a 4 core processor with 8 threads of hyper threading. Let's take the Intel I7-4770K as an example. Does the fact ...

The technology behind Hyper-Threaded, or HT, and multi-core processors enables processors to far exceed the performance of single-core, non-HT processors. The differences between the technologies are ...

ZombieLoad is similar to previous “side channel” attacks, which trick Intel processors into coughing up potentially sensitive information that otherwise would be kept private by the CPU. The exploit ...

The chipmaker's "hyper-threading" technology for boosting chip performance will debut soon with its first server versions of the Pentium 4 chip. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and ...
