Rendering performance tips

[tarmiricmi]

Hello,
regarding rendering performance, I was wondering what CPU feature is preferred in SH3D when rendering.
Does the program take HyperThreading into account? Can it use multiple cores (real/logical)?
For instance, would the upgrade from i5 to i7 deliver any gains in rendering speed?

Thanks in advance.

HyperThreading works
i have 2 cores and HyperThreading so it emulates 4 cores

That would be great, but how can you tell?
Could you turn off HT and render something, and then turn it back on, render and compare times?

no u cant switch off HT

to view it use windows Gadgets ALL CPU meter


or use windows Task-manager performance
