<div>Just for a clarification (for those of us who are hardware deficient), hyperthreading (the Intel mechanism) isn't actually simultaneous, correct? I had assumed so but I appear to be confused about it. Hyperthreading keeps a thread ready to take advantage of stalls in a preceeding thread, but doesn't ever actually perform a second instruction in one click tick, correct? One might think that there are so many pathways on a modern chip that collisions could be managed among several simultaneous threads. </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
