guiyoforward Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 hi there, I am using 10.5.4 on a MSI Wind with single core Atom processor, HT capable. The OS (activity monitor) only recognizes one logical core, as discussed in this post: http://forums.msiwind.net/mac/how-enable-h...3bac37c8988fd82 Is there something that can be done so OS X uses both logical cores, i.e., enables hyperthreading?

Nick14 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 hypertreading isn't 2 core it's 1 with treads with makes the cpu go 30% better then the one without HT for example a P4 3ghz is 30% slower then a P4HT 3Ghz som Kernel recongize the treads as Voodoo kernel and TOH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guiyoforward Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 thanks nick. in XP at least processors with HT appear as two logical cores, and I think something similar happens in OS X EDIT: indeed, activity monitor shows two cores even with the Core Solo processor, thanks to HT. Any idea how to activate it? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
