nonoooooo, it reads the HTT flag=20
so confusion is perfect now ... please see the funny side of it=20
the processor's cpuid function, when returning the HTT bit, reports dual-co=
re=20
single thread (AMD) or single-core dual-thread (Intel), and not that AMD=20
makes it appear like an Intel-HT CPU ...
but then ports/cpuid still reports:
=20
HT Hyper Threading (on Intel CPUs)
isn't it funny?
=2D-=20
