Isn't the hyperthreading confined just to Intel's Xeon server CPUs? I don't think it is yet available for desktop Pentium 4 CPUs.

P4's flaccid front-end can't keep up with single threaded tasks. Multi-threading will positively choke it, especially with large workload server applications.

IIRC the only benchmarks we have seen so far showed performance gains of between -10% and +10%. I guess Intel must have released new benchmarks to generate this level of excitement. Please can you post links to them so we can have a discussion with some concrete data behind it.
