Scumbria,

It is much more efficient to execute separate threads on separate processors.

Yes, what sells is MHz (TM McMannus), not what's efficient.

Scumbria, <Clearly the future of performance lies in CMP (Chip Multiprocessing.) It is much more efficient to execute separate threads on separate processors.>

Which do you like better, multi-chip cores (IBM Power4, AMD dual-Sledgehammer) or multithreaded cores (Compaq/Digital EV8)?
