But in case of HT which is a technique, to create different set of instructions for the same CPU, so that it can better utilise CPU resources. Essentially it also does't have two CPU execution resources as in the case of "dual core". Then why it is so important to show them as two CPUs in the OS? Is HT technology also means to increase the cpu logical counts and thus increase the performance for CPU intensive apps?
