There has been a lot of talk about hyperthreading on x86 chips recently. In particular Intel's Xeons (or perhaps all P4s at some point) utilizing it. Apparently one reason for the P4s big die size is the area that is devoted to hyperthreading that is not active on any current P4s.

More generally I don't see why anything that can be done on current mainframes can't be done in current or future x86 (or x86-64, or IA-64) chips.
