How to disable HyperThreading on Mac OS X Yosemite?

Solution 1:

Indeed there is a solution, but you have to have Xcode installed.

Search for "Instruments" with Spotlight (cmd+space), open the application and go to the preferences (cmd+,). Select the "CPUs" tab and untick "Hardware Multi-Threading".

However, after restarting your Mac it will be enabled again.
