Hyper Threading

Does Mikrotik support Hyper Threading? If not is using a Hyper Threading CPU going to hurt anything performance wise?

I would think they would start supporting dual CPU’s since Linux does this quite well already unless its an issue of size of the OS on flash etc.

It “shouldn’t” cause any major performance difference - the logical secondary processor is just that - a logical one. Its merely a way to run two threads simultaniously in a virtual manner - its still only one real processor doing the work.

Multi-core cpu’s and virtualisation are going to get rather common soon.

Turn off hyperthreading in the bios to get better performance.
