Hyper-Threading and Dual-Core, What's the Difference?
Most Intel processors feature what they call "hyperthreading," basically another virtual core for each physical core.
Is there a significant difference between these virtual cores and physical cores? For example, if I bought an 8-core machine and a hyperthreaded quad-core both at the same clock with similar specifications, would the 8 physical core machine outperform the quad-core-with-hyperthreading machine?
