Hyperthreading on the current I7's has absolutely no correlation what so ever to the earlier Netburst architecture, so if as Steinberg claim they have quantifiable and qualified evidence, in collaboration with Intel ( or so they claim ) that HT on the current systems is in any way detrimental to real time audio application, lets see the fine detailed evidence. With Steinbergs continued stance that Hyperthreading on the current i7's needs to be disabled, which is in direct contradiction to the experiences reported by i7 users on this forum, as well as several Professional DAW builders, not to mention other DAW Host Developers, I have decided to take the challenge up to Steinberg to give us quantifiable evidence why they are maintaining this line. However, our tests which were made by development showed that HT decreases the performance in most scenarios (meaning real life projects). Cubase works with Hyper-Threading turned on. If you think that HT works for you, then leave it on. It is not prohibited to use HT and there's no death penalty either. Especially if you what to run on very low latencies around 64 samples, turning off HT might do the trick.

It's rather a general issue that HT almost all the time has a negative effect on the overall performance when it comes to realtime audio. there's no specific plug-in that has issues with HT. Nevertheless, we will continue our research on this topic in cooperation with Intel but based on the results we have, our recommendation to disable Hyper-Threading will still be valid with upcoming versions of Cubase and Nuendo. No, Hyper-Threading and real time audio just don't get along too well as it is now and thus there won't be much improvement on Hyper-Threading.
