All I can say is that testing with the MIT software, the article from Linux Magazine (January 2003 page 8) and Mark Minasi (W2K guru) and Dan York (Linux guru)all show performance levels that justify what Intel (retail site) stated on how that the CPU reacts as a dual processor since the techno

On the subject of perforance... does PPC offer any advantages in the area of context switching (over various x86 implementations)? is there a good comparison of processors (benchmark) site that lists L1 cache(s) sizes L2 cache sizes, speeds, association schemes and other processor charatracteristic

Just curious, how are you measuring your performance benchmarks. I did some searchs on hyperthreading benchmarks, and none of them indicate anywhere near that kind of performance increase. The performance improvements are usually under 10%. --jc well you also need to take into consideration wha
