Go up one level in this thread

"Hyper- Threading Technology, which was pioneered on Intel's advanced server
processors, helps your PC work more efficiently by maximizing processor
resources and enabling a single processor to run two separate threads of
software simultaneously"

I don't get the point: any modern cpu runs as many threads as it wants
simultaneously doing "context switching".

Does this mean that in a Pentium two threads run at the same time in the CPU?
Then one would have "two CPU in one".
