Fyo, Re: "WannaBMW seemed to indicate that HyperThreading might actually sport a double "front-end""

I don't know how it works technically, but it makes sense to me that they would at least double the decoder logic and a number of necessary registers such as the program counter. I don't think you'll see double the trace cache, though. That tends to be rather large.
