AMD has never been used synchronous multi-threaded (SMT) is also referred to as the Intel Hyper-Threading Technology. Although such a technology in the P4 era when it is of no practical use, but now, the increasingly popular multi-threaded environment for the re-HT rejuvenated. Application of the current environment, Hyper-Threading Technology allows a number of specific application significantly speed up to 10-15%. In addition to Intel’s Nehalem, Atom, such as the introduction of Hyper-Threading, regardless of IBM’s Power series, Sun’s T1/T2/Rock series application processor architectures have a similar multi-threaded SMT synchronization technology, with a small number of transistors with to large multi-threaded performance.
