Hyper-Threading Explained And Benchmarked

John Martin writes "2CPU.com has posted an updated article about Hyper-threading performance. They discuss the technology behind it, provide benchmarks, and make observations on what the future holds for hyper-threading. It's actually an easy, interesting read. Of note, they'll be publishing Part II in the near future which will detail hyper-threading performance under Linux 2.6. Hardware geeks will probably appreciate this."

I hate it when inarticulate, uneducated people try to pretend to be eloquent by substituting "fancy" words for what they meant to say. This article is a perfect example of that. Because they almost always don't know exactly what the fancy words mean: they just found them in a thesaurus and never checked the definition to see whether they are accurate or really even appropriate.

The Sierra Club should be calling for a boycott on Intel. All this tree cutting just to feed a wood chipper...
