Re: "The early benchmarks indicate that performance goes down." Link, please? /Petz The tests I'd seen posted are no longer there. There are new results at the site, reflecting that the benchmarks have been "fixed." Note that the "unusual results" were that hyperthreading enabled chips were slower on some software than chips w/o hyperthreading. As some of you already know, I ran the Sandra benchmarks on the Prestonias when I first received them. I did get some unusual results. Sandra has since been patched over the weekend, and all new results are now in. The newly posted results look better for Hyperthreading, but indicate that executables will have to be tweaked at the assembler level to gain performance from hyperthreading. Here is the link. whiningdog.net
