i5 750 quad-core without HT???

[icysniper]

hey, just checking up on the LGA 1156 socket on wikipedia which supports the i5 750 CPU. where it says what quad-core processors it supports, it clearly shows the i5 without HT. Is HT, hyper-threading, and if it is, what clearly is it, and is it needed, as it also shows the i7 with HT?

It is only supported by few applications, and creates 4 new virtual cores, less powerful than the four real cores, but adds up to 8 cores shown on the task Windows Task Manager Performance. You really could have looked that up.

Don't use wikipedia as your only source of knowledge......please.

Bullet points or numbering is helpful when presenting multiple questions. Until your questions are in either of the aforementioned format then I refuse to answer. Bah.

Yeah anyone can edit wikipedia so sometimes your information might not be correct.

What's the performance difference between this and the i7 8**s?

Wikipedia or not, the 750 doesnt have hyper threading

As far as a lot of people are concerned it shouldn't be too big a deal anyway. It will still run well in games and for me especially that's all that matters.
