Dan, <Would it be reasonable to suggest that Itanium does SMT in software regardless of whether or not it also does it in hardware?>

Not really. Remember that the key word in SMT is "simultaneous." Itanium still only runs one thread at a time. Going to a different thread requires a context switch.

Still, imagine if Intel does indeed have SMT planned for future Itaniums? ;-)
