RE:"Hyperthreading will likely be the most distinguishing characteristic of the new chip. With hyperthreading, different regions inside the processor, such as the floating-point unit for decimal math and the integer unit, can process different parts, or threads, of an application at the same time. By contrast, most current chips behave like a wood chipper, processing threads in a fairly linear fashion. This simultaneous processing, already featured in Intel's Xeon server chips, boosts performance by up to 30 percent." Can't wait for the new B0pco benchmarking suite for hyperthreading. It's already been packaged with the samples send to the hardware sites... Jim
