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."

    if you use C++ or Java and know what you are doing it can yield big performances.

    I have done several projects.

    The only problem I see is that this puts an extra dimention on your code and humans are not made for thinking in concurrent terms.
