Mid 2010 MacPro 5,1 Hyperthreading issue
Hi I have recently bought (second hand) a Mid 2010 Mac Pro 5.1 running High Sierra 10.13.6. It has 2X2.66GHz 6 core Intel Xeon processors which I believe are the Xeon 5650 (Westmere) processors and 128GB RAM 133MHz.
I'm running the machine for Music Production Ableton Live10, but it struggles with many of the tasks Ableton throws at it.
I believe the Xeon 5650 Westmere processors have hyperthreading, but for some reason hyperthreading isnt listed on the hardware overview (which from what I have read is automatically enabled and should be listed in the hardware overview)
So
a) have the processors hyperthreading been disabled and if so how do i check this and enable?
b) are the processors I have not what I think they are and dont have hyperthreading and again how do I check the processor family/model (Westmere/Nahelem etc) beyond the basic info in the hardware overview?
