Does N3540 Pentium Processor Support Hyper Threading??

[Abhishek1108]

Most resources like Game-Debate.com, Laptop BIOS indicate that it doesn't support hyperthreading.

But Speccy reports that Hyper threading is supported but disabled. I can't find any setting in the laptop BIOS to enable it.

Pls clear the confusion whether HT is supported or not.

Laptop Specs:
Lenovo G50-30
Pentium N3540
Intel Integrated Graphics (Ivy Bridge Mobile)
4 GB DDR3L RAM
1 TB HDD (I think HDD info is irrelevant to the discussion)

No it does not, it is a 4 core, 4 thread processor. This doesn't mean quad core + threads, this means 4 core, 4 threads, 1 thread per core.
