hey Linus community I have been looking at CPUs and have seen the word hyperthreading (also seen in linus's videos) but really what is, what is it used for, what are the advantages of having more threads.

Thanks

Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.
