That does sound interesting.   Bobby -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Reeves Sent: Friday, June 23, 2006 8:23 PM To: 'The Hardware List' Subject: [H] AMD and Reverse Hyperthreading AMD’s AM2 boards have a neat little feature built in: reverse hyperthreading.  This will allow single-processor applications to see the two cores as 1 processor.  So, a dual core 2.2Ghz 4400+ would look like a single core, 4.4Ghz processor (6 IPCs compared to Conroe’s 4).  Interesting little trick.   http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=32589
