Intel Penryn will use HyperThreading

Penryn, the 45nm successor to Conroe on the Intel roadmap, will have several new features the previous lacked. One of these is Intel HyperThreading, which would give a computer four logical cores on a dual-core processor. Intel's Penryn may also have up to 6MB of L2 Cache, and other than the die shrink, will have a lot of minor performance tweaks.

if only i knew this before i got my laptop :shadedshu
i mean it's not slow or anything, but HT really does make a difference
on my old desktop i've booted it up with and without and it will run faster with it enabled. Now with 2 actual cores and 4 logical cores what kind of gains can we expect, espically on c2d

the reason ht worked so well on p4s is cause of the insanely long pipes so they didnt have to flushed to start a new process intel used HT though the c2d does not have those long pipes so i do not know how well ht will work on them

it will probably improve some performance but not as much as the p4 did

on a mobile solution though you're looking for as much cpu power while keeping the power down...or at least i hope so. anyways im thinking this will matter alot more for laptops then for desktops, espically since a HT p4 in laptops hopefully never happened

It did, and it was baaad. In fact I knew someone that bought an Alienware laptop with a P4EE in it, the battery lasted about 15 minutes...

It did get VERY hot, but I have to credit Alienware on one thing, the cooling design they used to keep it cool was very well built.
