But how about the core subject here - the hyperthreading? Have you noticed anything very different wrt that? I haven't, but it will certainly depend on your workload.
---- Definitely will depend on workload. But I noticed more power consumption and it seemed to handle more real work in the new HT's, but I haven't had the sys long enough to do alot of benching.
