dont know if this is old news but digitimes (http://www.digitimes.com/NewsShow/Article.asp?datePublish=2002/09/02&pages=04&seq=22) say's

Meanwhile, to compete with Advanced Micro Devices’s (AMD) K8-core processors, Intel has decided to introduce Hyper-Threading technology, currently adopted only by workstations, into its P4 processors that will run at clock speeds of 3.06GHz and above.

The Hyper-Threading technology, which enables one processor to work as a dual-processor set, requires supporting chipsets and operating systems (usually Windows NT and above) for full performance. Intel’s new DDR333 chipsets, the 845GE and 845PE, can both support the technology.

Yes its "old", most people who keep up with this stuff know that intel is adding hyperthreading to the 3.06s, and might even go backwards with it to the 2.8s. I think its in the C1 stepping and disabled, but ya never know....
