Has anyone not seen the Tom's Hardware Video?

I would very highly recommend it, as it shows the PROOF behind Hyperthreading. It puts a 3.06GHz Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading against a 3.60GHz overclocked Pentium 4 without Hyperthreading. There are two scenarios: the first uses apps such as PowerPoint and Photoshop, while the second uses apps like Pinnacle Studio, 3D Studio MAX and Unreal Tournament. At first, the raw clock speed of the 3.60GHz Pentium 4 without HT are able to get off to a good start. However, as the test goes on, performance eventually shifts to the 3.06GHz Pentium 4 with HT, and it actually pulls ahead by a significant amount. You have to see for yourself.
