Re: "Can you explain to us tech challenged folks what "multi threading support" means, or better yet it's implications?" Ten would be better at this or maybe Scumbria if you could cut through the hostility and anti-Intel hatred but I'll give it a try. Multithreading would be the ability to execute independent instruction streams simultaneously. In some ways like a dual die. This is what AMD is hoping to do with their sludgepumper. Wouldn't it be a surprise if Intel beat them to it? It would also go a long way to explain the much larger die and transistor count which has so far seemed inexplainable. I have had no contact with the P4 project so I can't spill any secrets but this "Jackson Technology" term keeps turning up in leaks about Foster. Ten seems very excited about Foster's performance potential. Maybe this is why. He probably can't speak about this if it's true. My guess is that it is true but I don't know for certain. EP
