The AMD thread has done it, they've influenced AMD, finally!!! CNBC just had a little blurb about AMD planning to come out with an ad campaign in the fourth quarter saying Megahertz isn't everything; their processors do some things faster regardless, etc. Let's see if they do a better job than the train commercial with the fat (I mean weight challenged) guy, the waitress and the cleavage shot (or were the last two the same woman? I forget.).

Elmer, Re: "This is the Jackson Technology some of us have been talking about."

One of the articles mentions that Hyperthreading will make it into server chips in 2002, and desktop chips later on. I think the sooner, the better. Hyperthreading could easily put Pentium 4 equal to the Athlon on a clock-per-clock basis, even on legacy apps. It could also be a nice way for Intel to differentiate their value line from their performance line. The future Celeron can be a Northwood chip without Hyperthreading, and the Pentium variety will have it enabled. This will allow Intel to streamline their desktop product line once again, allowing for much easier transitions. Now, Intel has to start getting Hyperthreading enabled in their IA-64 processor line (if they haven't already!) to leave the RISC market in the dust.

I know. I thought you would be excited to know they announced it as a real feature.
