With the launch of the mobile processor code-named Yonah (Intel® Core™ Duo), Intel introduced the first dual-core processor in the mobile market segment. Since availability of execution resources on the system doubles, many applications are expected to adopt multithreading to take advantage of available CPU resources.

For mobile platforms, power consumption has always been one of the major areas of importance. With multithreaded applications, the job at hand may be able to finish faster than single-threaded applications. Hence the boost in performance may result in power savings as system resources will be used for a lesser time, as compared to a single-threaded version.
