SW Weenies: Ready for CMT?

tbray writes "The hardware guys are getting ready to toss this big hairy package over the wall: CMT (Chip Multi Threading) and TLP (Thread Level Parallelism).

    Uh, I believe they said it was 1.4GHz, not 1Hz.

    Yes, and I corrected myself straight away in another post. In true slashdot style, the post where I corrected myself got modded down to Offtopic.
