nice video, noticed with the HT you got a couple of pausing stutters, very hard to notice, but it was noticeable, only a crysis 3.

I find that BF4 needs ht but when i play NS2 i get way less fps drop with ht OFF, and that game only uses 3 cores, but bf4 uses i htink all cores. Its probably better to turn ht off with single threaded application and games but would benefit from it with multithreaded applications.

Hmmm ya i don't think the HT made the pausing stutters though. IT did the same think with the HT off. I dunno what causes it it might be some background softwares like skype and thx mate:) and i want to add that the ac unity was running on SSD and crysis 3 on HDD so it might have to do with the HDD or something why its suttering sometimes.

I notice HT does help bf4 fps, uparking cores give me a 20 fps bump in max ultra 1080p 64 players, avg 90, rare low dips to high 50s, which is better than before, I'm sure I saw 48 once or twice with the cores parked.

Its the HDD for sure, something was loading/reading from the hdd, it only happened when you went into a new scene, I alawys found that alot of games microstutter when installed on a HDD as compared to be installed on a SSD.

yup i can confirm that it's HDD causing the stutters i moved the game on SSD and no more stutters 🙂

OK, but why is it that loading something into RAM causes the system to stutter? It seems to be because of S-ATA being a misconcept. Have you ever realised when you put in a blank media or any other disk into your DVD burner and the burner has problems to recognize it, then it locks up the whole system for quite a while. I also have a SSD, but regarding stutter it doesn't help, because it's also on S-ATA.

Leave it on. Intel has been working on HTT for 15 years, it's as efficient and mature as it'll get.

With and Without makes little to no difference, just personally find more fluid performance without Hyper-Threading.

Always said sense the first gen i5 that HT is primarily for creating video's and such and not for gaming... Look at the temps and performance boost with and without HT..

With HT really doesn't make to much of a difference besides higher core temps. Without seems to run fine and cooler to boot. May just wait to see what Intel really has in store for 1150 socket and maybe later go to a i7 4770k but right now seems I picked a good choice going the i5 4690k
