3.06ghz HT benchies...

Interesting. From what he says, it looks like it helps when multitasking with a heavy load in the background:

In addition, running the Volume Leveling feature found in MUSICMATCH Jukebox 7.1 brings most PC's to its knees. During the Volume Leveling process, CPU Usage is at 100% for the entire process. Running this Volume Leveling feature on 463 MP3's, with HT enabled, it appeared that HT allowed me to resume some basic activities such as Internet browsing and email activity. With HT disabled, it was noticeable that these basic activities such as Internet browsing and email activity took far more time initializing during the Volume Leveling process. However, a little less scientific, does create a real-world usage scenario.

It will be interesting to see what he gets out of it in 3DSMax rendering, where a dual-CPU system would provide quite a boost. THUGS, you gonna get a HT-enabled setup anytime soon...?

probably not til they trickle down to the low speed chips.

What about UT or UT2? )

 

[XBoxLPU]

I wonder how Seti does with HT

I heard there was an increase in UT2 of about 5-10%

SupermanCK, where do you play CS? IP? Maybe I'll come pwnz jo0 nubz (sorry to get off subject )
Will the HT chipsbe compatable with GB? One uber fast machine.......

I get identical performance in UT2 and 3DMark with the 3.06/P4T533.

Might not happen. Looks like 3.06 and up maybe...

Are you just inabling and disabling HT in the BIOS? And then running tests?
If so that's disappointing news.

Yes.

I wait to cast judgement once the real sites release thorough reviews that go a bit more past just benchmarks and actually try real world apps...divx and mpeg2 encoding...capturing...mp3...rendering, etc....


I am not a gamer and so I can care less about the games!!!

 

[THUGSROOK]

i think he said he did some audio compression and he was actually able to use the puter while it was doing it...

 

[techietam]

I CAN use my puter when I run VirtualDub set to highest priority with
2.53 that doesn't have HT support. It works very well as a coffee table
