Perhaps this is just the natural evolution of cpus however my feeling is, if you can't beat um, join um......

!! Marijuana !! said:what about hyperthreading on dual core to simulate quad core ?? just curious ...
It's pretty much the most pathetic thing I've heard. The same team in Israel that's responsible for the Dothan came up with a design in late 2002 that was essentially a Banias with an on-die memory controller, code named the Timna, extremely low heat output, but actually meant for a desktop...And yes, RDRAM is the main reason it never saw the light of day. Had it, you can bet very few would be using Athlon64's, at least not in the form they're in today.HousERaT said:Oh yeah..... and RDRAM was such a huge success..... mauahhahaahaha
dicecca112 said:useless in my opinion, yes hyperthreading was a good alternative to the cost of a dual cpu system, but now with dual core, why would you need that high of a performance.
Scott9027 said:I thought the Extreme Edition dual cores had Hyperthreading?
hard to see that difference when up against an X2, and hey at that price ( EE) you can get the best X2, blowing the EE out of the water. Also i could've sworn that intel ppl said that HT makes no difference when there was a thread describing the X2 vs the 830 and EE. The argument for intel was that the 830 was much cheaper than the X2, however the 830 EE was the same price. They said that they perform almost identically. Now suddenly HT makes a difference?Ht still helps dual core intel cpus, in some applications. Out performing the dual core. Intel cpu still seem to be faster then amd at encoding video.
Thanks

However truthful that may be, you have to reject that notion for the premise of this thread to have any meaning (not that I'm saying it did).HousERaT said:You said a mouthful my friend. It's not about who makes the product, it's about who gives the best deal.
