Guy ! Do anybody know how to terminate Hyperthreading functionality of zenfone 5 ???

I think 1.6 ghz is sufficient with dual core so what the hell Hyperthreading is doing here ?

Its simply giving stress to battery life & heating device as quick as possible.

                                    Everything fine but battery drains very fast. Music n ringtone volumes are average.After updating 2.21.40.44 Wi-Fi problems. Wi-Fi connection done, but not loading. Really disappointing.....Lots of updates but battery problem not solved n now wifi.....

                                      i have purchased it and its the worst phone
                                      only looks is good and stylish,
                                      both sim slot are micro , i suffered lot by visiting bsnl subscriber and replaced old sim with new sim, and guess what happen,
                                      network is contioniously fluctuating within 2 to 3 minutes of gap, no proper sim slot is given, its clearly mentioned in their phone manual sheet that use standard sim for good network connection, i dont understand what is a standard sim, is it a special sim for asus zenfone 5 , and if yes then asus zenfone should provide it seprately to their customer before buying the mobile.. i am fed up with this phone, my 8000 /- is like loss only, shit on this useless asus zenfone 5
