To put it in (extremely) simple terms: speculative multithreading (SpMT) is about using multiple cores to speed up a single thread.


It is, but IMO it is also laying the groundwork for SpMT in future versions of the architecture.
Drawing any kind of Conclusion positive or negative is in fact premature. But this guy, just like ALL OF US here has a right to his opinion even if it is Disgruntled! Some folks think it (BD) will kick @$$ and some think it will get its @$$ kicked! Either way, both sides are right until the product ships and makes one side look knowledgeable and the others side look clueless.
