Default Re: Win10 Disabling Hyper-Threading question.

I was completely unaware that this was an issue, nor I ever came across to a scenario that required it.

I am currently building a big HP Server for a several purposes (Atmos Rendering and for VR playback) and I am investigating how it could work as Pro Tools PC as well.

Darryl, could you please give me an example of a Pro Tools issue that was solved by disabling Hyper-Threading on a Mac?

Since I initially posted this today, I have been researching further into this matter, reading online and posting the same query on an FB group. Yes indeed, HT might not be doubling the CPU prowess but some reports refer to a 30% increase. Of course, it depends on plugins used, etc.

I'll try and disable Hyper-Threading on tomorrow's project and compare the System Usage window to the one with Hyper-Threading enabled to check whether there might be any difference at my system.
