Is it possible to give the i5 a hyperthreading boost!?

Question

I've been curious about that since i like video encoding., but i am in a tight budget so instead i got the i5-3570k since i am a gamer also (and hyperthreading have no significant advantage to that!), i known that hyperthreading is a software based rather than hardware based (correct me if i mistake!) so I think if there is only a computer genius or super hacker that can write the correct code for it...is this possible? how about you guys!

Answer 1

No go, hyperthreading is a hardware-level feature of the CPU.



The Core i5 3570K is still very swift for video encoding, and in games it's not that hyperthreading doesn't provide a sigificant boost... it provides NO boost at all!



In fact in some really demanding titles, hyperthreading actually slows things down slightly, so the Core i5 2500K outperforms the Core i7 2600K as a result!

The 2500K in gaming benchmarks out performs the 2600K Core i7. In adope photoshop and illustrator, you may notice slightly better performance from the Core i7, but it's doubtful that it would be a significant enough difference to justify the increased cost. The primary difference between the Core i5 and Core i7 is hyperthreading. The Core i5 and the Core i7 both have 4 physical cores (except for Sandy Bridge-E, where Core i7's can have 6 physical cores, but cost $600+ for just a CPU), however, because the Core i7 has hyperthreading it actually has 8 logical cores (it can perform 8 instructions simultaneously, rather than just 4). Photoshop is a mulithreaded application capable of utilizing hyperthreading, but it is doubtful it would never gain such a performance boost from the extra cores as to justify the cost of the Core i7. Where the Core i7 really shines is in video encoding/decoding, 3D image rendering, and other multi-core demanding tasks. If you're on a budget, stick to the Core i5, you'll be very happy with it's performance, even in Photoshop and Illustrator.

Answer 3

Hyperthreading will only give you a 30% increase in the best of situations. And no, the i5 3570K is not HT capable. Don't worry, it's still a hell of a processor. You can overclock it enough to match the speed of a hyperthreaded 3770K at stock speed, or very close to it

Answer 4

No. There are physical differences between a hyperthreading CPU and a non-hyperthreading CPU.



Hyper-threading works by duplicating certain sections of the processor.

Answer 5

No. And only multithreaded application gets a boost from hyperthreading but that boost is very little.

Answer 6

You are confused. Hyper threading is hardware-based, but the software as to be written to talked advantage of it.
