Good link Stevie, thanks.

Shen thinks Intel will squeeze 10-to-30 percent more performance out of single-core Xeons using dual-threaded SMT. Bigger gains depend on applications being rewritten for multithreading, Shen said.

This quote seems to say 10-30% improvement from existing apps by only enabling SMT. Add higher frequencies, bigger caches, faster busses and we have some huge jumps in performance coming in 1H02.
