Fyo, Re: <However, calling it "hopeless" is a far cry from the reality.>

As far as I can see, INTC shot it's .13 wad and about caught up to AMD's .18 offering. Maybe passed them in a couple things. But it's still a damn big power hungry chip that doesn't look to me like it's going to be worth anything in the server and notebook businesses without a lot more work.

And it's time is gone, IMO.

Intel didn't get off the pot in time.

Re: And what happens when HyperThreading is turned on?

The early benchmarks indicate that performance goes down, while Microsoft licensing costs double...

So HyperThreading has gone back for "another spin of the silicon" and some more negotiations with Microsoft.

"And what happens when HyperThreading is turned on?"

Power consumption goes up?

For stuff that is heavily threaded, it should help. But unless those hyperthreaded processors are sold at the same price as the un-hyperthreaded ones it will be cheaper to get a SMP Athlon XP system with a higher performance level...
