Hyper-Threading of the CPU will create 2 transfer lines per physical cores instead of 1 transfer line.
Therefore this will increase the latency.
Latency is the time between when you receive information from your internet network, and when it will be calculated by the CPU and finally display on the screen. Even if the CPU calculates quickly, between the moment the information was processed on the EUREX server, the CME, or the ICE ... you still received the information 200 ms later .

Performance question: Watch the performance when you export a video with an Intel Core i5 processor (of 4 physical cores), and an Intel Core i7 (of 4 physical cores with Hyper-Threading). You will see that the difference is small. It's a marketing tool. And that will increase the latency.

In trading the low latency is the key.

It's not enough to disable in the BIOS, you must disable devices that you do not use, to gain latency. You also need to disable all tools to save CPU energy to allow it to focus only on your programs and not in parallel on the CPU temperature. The CPU's energy-saving and security algorithms also increase latency. To go further, you can disable the CPU security settings in the BIOS, some do, others prefer security. Remember that the more you tell your CPU to use technologies such as energy saving or security will require it to focus on parallel tasks and will therefore increase latency.

This video is French but watch everything you need to disable to gain latency and you will be amazed.

People are racing for fiber optics for low latency, but the PC must also be well adjusted otherwise it is useless.
