Alan_B Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Intel specifies this chip as not having Hyperthreading support. Speccy v.1.14.288 (64-bit) says: CPU Hyperthreading Supported, Disabled <<<<<<<<< ? Surely that could mean the same thing. It is not unknown for semiconductor manufacturers to sell the same basic product at different prices, with a premium price for full functionality of all capabilities and lower prices and reduced capability for a different market. Does it make any difference to the consumer whether the manufacturer paid a few million for a different mask set that omits premium capabilities, or whether he has a much cheaper way to use the premium mask set but somehow cripple or disable the premium bits before the product gets to the end user ?

wuzzle Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 That's the funny thing about english, it can be read in many different ways. Looking back at it again, I see it is simply the way Speccy is describing the support or lack thereof. Please close this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
