Elmer,<<<you are confusing multithreading with multitasking. Multithreading on a processor with Jackson Technology would allow both instruction streams to execute simultaneously.>>>

That sounds very exciting. That would mean that if you have two threads executing simultaneously, you would double the MIPS and if you have N threads executing you would increase MIPS by N times.

Somehow that sounds too good to be true.
