Then it would still be one of the reasons, just a very small one. I didn't realize it was quite that small. It seems to be a similar % to what AMDs 64bit instructions are supposed to add.

It could be said that my original statement was 100% accurate but was misleading. Your reply should prevent anyone from being mislead.

Tim, <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.>

The die cost is actually about 5%.

Tenchusatsu, you mean the cost to the die area, not dollar cost, right?

For what applications would hyperthreading be used, and how would you activate it on a chip?
