thx but i prefer real world unless proven that this time SMT is actually good for daily use.
Hyperthreading was less useful back then when every desktop CPU was single core, nearly all apps were written for that, and the architecture was gimped to begin with..

This is a vastly improved Core 2 with SMT, and it'll debut in a market where even every single low to mid-end laptop and desktop PC has a dual core CPU.. So I'm thinking it'll see much more use.
