Intel brings forward Nehalem Launch

[JumpingJack]

You are right but just opening multiple threads and utilizing all this threads is still a very big different. I other words .. whats better ? : 2 full utilized Core or all cores with 12.5 % (quad core).

For examble:

Just found out that video encoding (Nero Suite) scales very well from 1 to 2 Cores (About 1.8x) but from 1 to 4 its only about 2.7x, which means one core is totaly obsolet.

Good point, I never said that the multithreaded apps were well multithreaded Windows Media Encoder will only split off two threads .. is another example.

The reason I made this point is about 2-3 months ago, I was developing a multitasking test scenario. What I wanted was one case where I had one dual threaded app, and two single threaded apps, in other cases I wanted all just general threaded apps.

It is now hard to find general single threaded apps that represent a mainstream like applications that puts any kind of load on the processor.
