| 7 | "Fake"? Hyperthreading is just a fancy word for what AMD's "Dual Core" |
| 8 | describes much better: these CPUs have multiple cores, i.e. instruction |
| 9 | handlers, that share the integer, floating point etc. units. The idea is |
| 10 | that, since in a conventional CPU all but one of these units are idle at |
| 11 | all times, multiple cores could make better use of the CPU. |
