Is this a good definition of Hyperthreading written below?

Intel's HyperThreading Technology allows a single processor to effectively create two logical processors to an operating system. A single processor can execute multiple instructions on the same clock cycle increasing CPU performance. This simulates multiprocessing performance with a single processor. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use.
