"Optimizing some code to run 10-30% faster on one kind of cpu?" You have to realize that this is just my guess based on what I've seen so far. I could be wrong, but it looks as if the current P4 just doesn't have enough resources for hyperthreading unless you play some games. " It seems like Intel is trying to do the same thing with the P4 like it did with Itanium. Move the optimizing burden to the software instead of the hardware." No, this is worse. If it depending on an exceptionally bright compiler, that would be bad enough. But this depends on the programmer to do the job, a much worse situation.
