Only the new Intel Pentium Extreme Edition with dual-core supports HT... the normal one does not support HT

You get 2 cores, but they do not support multiple hyperthreads per core. I'm typing this on a new D 820 system, and there are 2 cores, but that's it. See http://www.intel.com/products/processor/pentium_D/index.htm for more info. As for overall performance, it's a bit of apples to oranges. My other system (hyperthreaded) had a faster clock speed, but the 820 has a larger cache and somewhat faster data paths. Overall, the dual core feels faster, but it may be the overall system and not the processor. -b > Message: 2 > Date: Mon, 1 Aug 2005 21:57:43 -0400 > From: Indigo 23 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: Experiences with Intel 820 Dual-Core.... > To: [email protected] > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 > > Well more specifically, I was just wondering if it is a wise idea to turn on > HyperThreading (i.e. will I see any benefit performance wise)? > > PS. I know about the security issue regarding HT already. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-smp To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-smp To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
