Hyperthreading on OS X

[guiyoforward]

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:

Is there something that can be done so OS X uses both logical cores, i.e., enables hyperthreading?

 

Thanks!

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

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!
