How can I enable hyper-threading on my 2015 i5 iMac?

T do believe I disabled HT(hyper-threading) on my iMac using terminal accidentally.

Is there a terminal command that will enable HT for the 2015 5K iMac with this i5 processor?

Thanks !

macOS High Sierra (10.13.5)

The I5 processes is not capable of hyperthreading. The I7 processor is required to get hyperthreading.

I know I have an i7 but as you can see there are a lot more than 8 processes running and there are surely several hundred on each of your computers as well.

FWIW, How many processes are running have nothing to do with hyper-threading. Threads and processes are two different things.
