I agree.
There is a major difference.
They cannot both do the same thing, they work on separate jobs.
So it will speed up multitasking but will not be any different than a 2.66GHz P4 doing one thing at a time.
As for the cache, it's 1Mb per core, not 2Mb between them.
if both cores are running at 2.66ghz, thats still pretty much two CPU's.. i can say it is far better than HT tech
That's the idea, it's 2 CPUs in one socket.
It's better than HT because HT is just simulating dual-core tech, it still only uses one core so isn't as good.
The 8 series are good overclockers, GX1 had a good link on this . . . 4.1GHz was it?
