Bo Fox, you're absolutely right on both issues - tri-channel mem. ctrl. will only show it's strengths in SiSoft Sandra, and efficiency of HT is academic, according to Anand:



I mean 10% in ideal paralleled situation like rendering is laughable!

So you'd say no to 10 - 30% free performance?

Even without HT Nehalem is already heads and shoulders above any existing CPU in multi-threaded performance, HT is just the icing on the cake.

I bet if AMD somehow incorporated HT and even got a modest 5 - 10% boost you wouldn't find it so 'laughable' or 'academic'. Just a hunch.
