Ref < This goes well with earlier indications from Intel that only the server version of P4 would use SMT. Additionally, virtually zero consumer apps are multithreaded, so even if XP was to support it, apps wouldn't be able to make use of it. >

I do not think so. I think that the Willamette and Northwood cores have the Jackson Technology built in, but initially it will be enabled only for Xeon. Then as time passes, or as the competitive situation dictates, Intel will enable Jackson Technology on the desktop version, and then on the Celeron.

Regarding applications, I think that even the desktop applications will benefit somewhat from the multi threaded capability.

Obviously the Sledgehammer will also benefit. The only unknown is how much is the chip size and cost associated with the extra core on the Sledgehammer.
