Ban Ban Liar Dan - re: "The Athlon at 1.5GHZ (1800+) is faster than 1.8GHZ P4 Xeon (prestonia) with hyperthreading - at least in the test you posted." Uh....those tests used TWO AthyWipers which were benchmarked against ONE Hyperthreading Xeon !!!

Dan, Re: "Go back an re-read that post, what he did was limit the number of threads for the two processors - to reduce contention conflicts caused by SMT." You should go back and look at the link. The "First Pass" had SMP and SMT enabled in Sandra, and the "Second Pass" had only SMT enabled. In the "Third Pass", the author simply took the results of the Athlon from the "First Pass" (where there were two CPUs running), and the results of Prestonia from the "Second Pass" (where there was one CPU running with Hyperthreading). Face it, the Prestonia beats the crap out of the Athlon. wbmw
