OT: On Intel CPUs it's called HT, for Hyper-Threading. It's been bugging me everytime you type HTT. Must be a carry over from AMD.
Actually it is HTT on Intel and HT for AMD it bugs ME every time someone gets it backwards


Reason?

Hyper-Threading Technology is a hyphenated word, therefore when abbreviating you use both first letters in the word. HyperTransport Technology is just a messed up "logo-ized" version of Hypertransport Technology. Intel abbreviates it as HT Technology. Shortened further would be HT Tech or HTT

Both companies always use the word Technology afterwards.

If it was HT because we do not add the T for technology, than HyperTransport Technology would be abbreviated H, which would confuse everyone
