Yes this is my understanding of the setup
I have read in a lot of reviews of this that games etc will need to be written to fully utilise both cores,but in real world computing its gotta be a plus to have 2 working processes not sharing clock cycles
It was my understanding that hyper threading used spare clock cycles to run extra code and take pressure off the main task,although hyperthreading was a plus when it first came about it never truely acted as 2 cpus just appeared to
Interestingly the normal spec intel dual core chips do not hyperthread so if there was no benefit over hyperthreading why bother
The Intel extreme versions do hyperthread showing 4 virtual cpus in taskmanager
