Yes its called HT. It has been possible since era of Pentium 4 tongue.gif. Currently at most it can support 2 threads. 1 core can have up to 2 threads , it can change , depending on how technology comes
I think the q9550 series can still take it. Again its for benchmarks , if you notice its just few more fps or few more additional scores. quad cores really have 4 cores vs 2 cores with 2 threads.

I do know about HT tongue.gif
Just wanted to know whether it's possible to have 2 or more threads per core.

Won't having multiples threads increase the operating temp for the processor.I read about this somewhere last time.

Same hmm.gif

Is it i3 can be used on P55 mobo but the IGC will be disabled?

i3 & i5 both using socket 1156.So yes P55 motherboards can be used.Why would the IGC be disabled with P55 motherboard?

You need to buy a dedicated graphic card then.

At least we know these boards can run current i5 and i7 processors, for the upgrade path..  icon_rolleyes.gif

So H series motherboards are replacement for G series motherboard?
The question is whether i3 can run with existing P55 motherboard.

Yups, I've also wondering on this also... So far this board has not appeared on the manufacturer's website, and haven't seen any new BIOS updates for the current boards.. hmm.gif  Perhaps it will only appear after the new Core i3/i5 and H55/H57 boards have officially launched. wink.gif

I guess you need BIOS update like P35 need in order to support quad core processors.

The release of motherboard before the official release of the processors really confusing me.At least motherboard manufacturers should update their website with some info about their motherboards spec.
