Inter i5 4690k HyperThreading

Does the cpu have ht if not why so?

[Oshino Shinobu]

No, it doesn't. Why not.... Ask Intel I guess?

No, it doesn't.

Intel disabled it, to differentiate between their desktop core I5 and desktop core I7 SKUs.

so only i7's have? and i wish i can enable it (

The chip itself does have hyperthreading but it is disabled. You look in Speccy it will say along the lines of 'Supported, Disabled' or something like that.

so an i5 was actually an i7 but they screwed it over just because they could sell the i7s at a higher price? Damm intel marketing tatics

[NicekillBG]

ok thank you all

will it heat up more with hp becouse i dont know what it really does

No, other Intels products also feature hyper-threading. Intels desktop I3 SKUs have hyper-threading.

The yield is not perfect. Some chips will be defect. However, some of the issues, can be fixed by removing a certain part of a chip.

Example: An I5 was supposed to be an I7, but a part of its L3 cache is defect.

AMD does it too. The FX 6300 was supposed to be a FX 8320, but there was a defect module.

It is just to reduce waist, and in the end, it really benefits us (as it keeps the price lower).

Hyperthreading is (mostly) how Intel differentiates their various product tiers.

 

For desktop processors:

Pentium: dual-core

Core i3: dual-core with Hyperthreading

Core i5: quad-core

Core i7: 4/6/8-core with Hyperthreading

 

Add Hyperthreading to a Core i5, and it would basically be an i7.

Possibly, during the binning process it may perform at higher temperatures, consume more power, generally faulty or something like that. I don't know the reasons why but I would look along those lines.

This is how it goes i3 are duel core with hyper threading the i5 are either duel core with hyper threading (very few) and most of them quad core no hyper threading and the all mighty i5 is anywhere from 2 to 8 cores all with hyper threading. Hope this helped
