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."
