    Hey guys. My friend just got a new MacBook Pro with the new Core i5 Sandy bridge. I read that these CPU's have HyperThreading Disabled on them. Is there a way i can go about enabling it on a mac?

    -Thanks

    Hm, ok i like what i see. But what's the deal with this? Intel's website states that its newest Sandy-Bridge i5's do not have Hyper-Threading (bottom page). Or, maybe it's because these are the i5's the MacBooks use (the mobile i5's). These do support hyper-threading.
