Actually, Gian, they are VERY VERY Different. Hyperthreading involves the P4 taking and application and seperating the threads of data at high speed into "ribbons" of data. Each "ribbon" is then processed in segments so the processor doesn't have to work on one giant task but many very small tasks. This is more efficient and better for the processor. It also uses a seperate controller, so that is why in Windows XP, a P4 with HT is seen as two processors.
Hypertransport on the otherhand has to do with FSB controllers intergrated onto the CPU itself. This is what enabled AMD to produce the 1600MHz FSB that is now becoming so famous. Hypertransport is all about BUS speeds, hyperthreading is all about coding. Very different indeed.
