    Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?

    yes about 20% more performance when reqd. i wish someone could benchmark these chips workstation benchmarks (database benchmarks and whatnot) to see actual impact of HT. in which case i'm guess it'll be slightly more.

    SB was supposed to have dedicated hardware for video. the benchmarks dont seem to show any dramatic improvements for video encoding.

    any avx benchmarks out yet?

    It does look improved, I wonder how much this is due to actual architectural improvements vs using Win 7 over Vista. Win 7 is much better at scheduling for HT cores.
    One hundred years from now It won't matter

    How much money I had in the bank Nor what my cloths looked like.... But The world may be a little better Because, I was important In the life of a child.
