Ah...so it seems we could basically have twice the speed from one processor?

So how does hyper threading work anyway? Wikipedia time

 

[borat_sagdiyev]

hyperthreading is like fooling the computer into thinking it has 2 cores when it only has one.

oooh i hope this saves am2! if not, i think amd is done for. but with this, there will be even more amazing performance in games at least.

so this basically makes the computer think that it's using one superpowerful processor. so im guessing that this it a temporary feature, like it wont be on all the time. ie: u can switch between normal HT(for multitasking) and reverseHT(for single programs such as games)

At least AMD is making an effort to combat Intel's Core Microarchitecture. Good.
