"I am afraid the situation is not good for AMD." I dunno, I still don't believe that even with that compiler team, the compiler can decompose regular code into multi-threaded code that is balanced for hyperthreading as it currently exists. For one, the DEC team was looking at a processor (EV8) that didn't have the limitations that Prestonia has. It would have had plenty of resources to run all 4 threads. I expect the resource limitation to be lifted with Prestonia. And I personally don't expect the compiler group to be able to squeeze out the modifications until then. Now true, any changes to support Prestonia will also be of benefit to any SMT machine, but that will also be true of any CMP or SMP machine, since the Prestonia mods will be a subset of the requirements. This only puts pressure on AMD to push forward with their SMP plans, which is all to the good...
