Hyper-threading, officially called Hyper-Threading Technology (HTT), is Intel's trademark for their implementation of the simultaneous multithreading technology on the Pentium 4 microarchitecture. It is a more advanced form of Super-threading that debuted on the Intel Xeon processors and was later added to Pentium 4 processors. The technology improves processor performance under certain workloads by providing useful work for execution units that would otherwise be idle, for example during a cache miss. A Pentium 4 with Hyper-Threading enabled is treated by the operating system as two processors instead of one.

Hyperthreading pertains to your processor. A processor that can run in hyperthreading can run multiple processes at the same point in time simply. All processors MULTITASK which is different. Multitasking is the running of many tasks concurrently using scheduling mechanisms that is some are put on wait while another one is run. Normally this is so fast that you think your processor is running all threads(series of related tasks)at the same time. Hyperthreading means multitasking with scheduling but with multiple processes literally running at the same time.It is not just an impression in the case of Hyperthreading.Cheers.
