The more I learn the more I get confused. From Intel specs I find that the
Pentium D is a dual core processor but does not support Hyper-threading. Is
this because Intel has not yet created a dual core version that does include
Hyper-threading, or is there something inherent to the design to preclude
this?
Another related question to pose. The Pentium itself can be thought of as a
dual core 486. Does this mean that the Pentium D is really something similar
to a quad core 486? (I do realize that the Pentium core has a lot of
improved technology over the 486)
