Are you expecting us to read that all ?

well if u want the full info u can expect urself to read it all

 

[NickS]

what benefits *scratches head*

Great article Joe, its a stroll in the park compared to a lot of other published research. Thanks and reppies for you

Hyper-Threading under benefits Dual Core

HT = a joke in my book...

But that's just me, lol.

yeah iagree with frag hyper threading dosent really have much of an advantage

It does Just not for dual core lol

But I can definatly feel a difference with HT on and off

fair enoughh lol

Yep u sure can feel the difference.

Say if i want to rip a dvd while playing CS:S. With HT disabled i will get the occasional jerk in the game, and game loading times will seem significantly longer.

With HT enabled you totally forget that ur ripping a dvd.

 

[bloodthirst]

haha nice as, looks like there's one advantage about having a intel

 

[Joe]

imo Ht maks a pc more responsive if u are using 2+ low power apps @once but part from that the linpak benefits ae in that PDF

thanks for the reppies

HT does make a difference. Off vs. On, there is a world of difference. Responsive wise? Definentally. In my mind, the only thing that P4 has on AMD is HT, which doesn't work anymore. Now, my Athlon 64 is leaps and bounds faster than my P4 OC/ed and HT'ed and everything.

You have to remember, you cannot really compete, Athlon 64 vs P4, because when Intel made the P4, it was specifically meant to whoop AMD's Athlon XP. When AMD brought out the Athlon 64, Intel thought the Net Burst achitecture & technology had a lot more to offer @ higher clock speeds with more cache. Well it didn't, it ran out of steam, fast. If Intel started from scratch, on a clean sheet, I would bet a large sum of money, that once again, they would lead the market again, but, they can't figure it out that the Net Burst architecture is dead. Oh well. Their problem, not mine.

It wouldn't take but a month for AMD to shoot back with new pwnage

u guys have to remember that hyperthreading cuts the core in 2 basically..... and also shaves off about 100mhz while doing so (ie. 3ghz p4 = 2x 1.45ghz) and prioritizes the apps you are running. not relly making 2x3ghz, but still helps.

 

[NickS]

I wouldnt say totally in half but, pretty close.

Shaves off 100MHz? It so does not! Even opening just one app, it comes up faster than Hyper-Threading off.

It's True! Hyperthreading increases all around system performance. It's really pretty cool.

Yep! 'tis a wonderful thing..
