Re: Prestonia - Complete with HYPERTHREADING benchmarks Those benchmarks are pretty ugly, at least now we know why they've delayed activating SMT. Re: With only a single 1.8GHz Prestonia CPU enabled Go back an re-read that post, what he did was limit the number of threads for the two processors - to reduce contention conflicts caused by SMT. The Athlon at 1.5GHZ (1800+) is faster than 1.8GHZ P4 Xeon (prestonia) with hyperthreading - at least in the test you posted. As I said, at least now we know why they've delayed letting anyone see the fabled SMT. Maybe they can get more benefits by optimizing compilers, but the numbers you posted, if real, are ugly for Prestonia and not encouraging for Intel's SMT.
