Windows treats Hyper-Threads as logical cores. Even if your CPU has four physical cores and eight threads, Windows interprets it as an eight-core processor. This allows the task scheduler to distribute software threads across each core. Games benefit from Hyper-Threading since they operate within the same framework that Windows uses. Generally, there aren't significant advantages in games because their logic isn't heavily threaded.

However, if other applications are active simultaneously, hyperthreading can improve performance since each will have its own threads rather than sharing one with your game.
