HT remains a key part of Intel's desktop processor marketing, particularly in the consumer space, so it would be difficult for it to turn round in a couple of years and say that the technology is suddenly less relevant than it once was.

A dual CMP desktop processor based on the Dothan core
would provide much bigger multi-threading speedup than
HT ever did in P4. HT replicates some parts of the CPU
per thread. CMP replicates the entire CPU. Conceptually
both are simply means to exploit thread level parallelism
(TLP).

Buggi, HT remains a key part of Intel's desktop processor marketing, particularly in the consumer space, so it would be difficult for it to turn round in a couple of years and say that the technology is suddenly less relevant than it once was.

Bullcrap.

BUGGI, what socket does Intel intend to use for Nocona - the Xeon 600/601 pin socket or LGA775?

Second, what chipset? This link http://endian.net/roadmap.asp says that Intel will use the old E7501 Xeon chipset. But that chipset only supports 34-bit addressing.

In any event, I think the fact that Intel can't get ECC memory to work on the 925 chipset is significant.
