[quote name="laudablepuss"][quote name="Ray of Light"][quote name="laudablepuss"]By architecture, are you talking about hyperthreading? I believe only the P4s have that (as opposed to the Celerons), so yeah, if you had an app that took advantage of that you <i>might</i> see an improvement. I don't really know what hyperthreading is supposed to do, so it's hard to say. Hyperthreading . . . maybe the CPU reaches into another dimension to retrieve future instructions which it can <s>subsequently</s> execute in the past. That'd be a pretty cool feature.[/quote] "No."[/quote] <a href="http://www4.tomshardware.com/images/thg_video_5_p4_ht.zip">Check this out.</a> (<a href="http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20021114/index.html">Also here.</a>) Hyperthreading is apparently not bad. The new dual core Pentium D XXXTREME!@!#!@! or whatever has hyperthreading also, for a total of 4 logical CPUs. Huh.[/quote]
