hat · Mar 18, 2010, 06:29 AM

sneekypeet · Mar 18, 2010, 06:31 AM

hat · Mar 18, 2010, 06:32 AM

Not necessarially. Maybe he enabled ht, came home and then posted about it at 8:50PM.

sneekypeet · Mar 18, 2010, 06:47 AM

Title said "just" I assumed it was recent.

DonInKansas · Mar 18, 2010, 06:53 AM

It's school. Who cares. Go home.

DirectorC · Mar 18, 2010, 03:54 PM

LOL @ the last few posts.

Alert everyone, I do go night classes from 6-10PM.

And I ended up not drinking yesterday

Too tired, went to bed.

HT = awesomeness?

RejZoR · Mar 18, 2010, 04:09 PM

HT is secks only on Core i7. First because of the cores number and also they optimized it a lot.
HT on P4 was like afterburner that mostly burned the thing but gave no real boost. And nearly no applications supported multi core operations anyway. Quake 3 Arena was the only one and even there, gains were very small.

DirectorC · Mar 18, 2010, 05:10 PM

I don't know what you're talking about because VMs and Firefox work a LOT faster with HT on. HT doesn't make the CPU faster, I know this, but multitasking, even though benchmarks will tell you otherwise, is a lot faster. I could feel it.
