August 28, 201114 yr So its still related to the CPU been able to support it. If I had a HT compatible CPU in Snow Leopard OS, I wonder if it would work? Sometimes I feel that HT is just a gimmick , in all honesty I have never seen it do anything but again it is my thinking . Ryzen 5 1600x - 16GB DDR4 - RTX 3050 8GB - MSI Gaming Plus

August 28, 201114 yr If you compare a CPU to a factory, a core can be compared to a workshop within the factory. One factory can have multiple workshops, so a quad core CPU has four "workshops".A thread can be compared to a worker. If a workshop contains one worker then only one item can be built at the same time in that workshop. If there are two workers, they can work on two items.In theory you could have lots of workers in a workshop, but they could hinder each other, so it is limited to two.
