dumbmoney,

<Actually multithreading is not the same as on-chip SMP. In multithreading the execution units are shared between the threads. This can work pretty well because threads often stall waiting for data, so the execution resources are underused.>

Actually, it would be interesting if you (Scumbria, KZ, Kap and other CPU guys) can comment on the performance and software support aspects of such an implementation.
