On a i7-920 you get app 30-35% more with HT on vs off.
Now to get "speed" you need the 2500K or 2600K
Remembering it's a one time cost of app $100.00 between the two your going to benefit that 30-35% every day for say 2 years for a $100.00 one time cost.
how can this be if they both use the same processing core?
