sufficiently large number of people that are running large scale Monte Carlo simulation and optimization tasks.

As a percentage of the desktop market, I would have to say this is well less than 1%, wouldn't you agree? Maybe 0.1%?

Personally I think now that the "no HT" on Smithfield is a smokescreen. They will only do that if AMD doesn't have a dual core desktop chip by time they do. They would get more mindshare and marketing clout from having HT than the last 300 MHz of processing speed.

Other than heat, there's no technical reason to disable HT and they can always just throttle more.
