Yeah, I was surprised how well my AMD rigs are crunching. My 1055T 3.5 GHz is is running at 17:18, i7 950 4 GHz at 27:43 and my X4 640 3.3 GHz even besting my 950 at 18:23!
HT doesn't help finish these WUs faster. It doubles the time per WU. The longer time gets a little higher points. I think. I'm trying to check the differences now. It will be a few days to come to a conclusion.

Interesting. I'll try turning off HT tonight and see if that makes any difference.

hm, it seems that this project is integer intensive. It might be beneficial if you have an HT chip to assign floating point intensive projects like folding to all of your real cores, and let HT run this project on top of of it. for 8 thread cpu just bind projects to 0,2,4,6 and 1,3,5,7 cores

Yes, AMD CPUs do seem to crunch Correlizer better than Intel. My 3.0Ghz Q9300, gets times of around 25:xx. My friend's rig, whom is doing BOINC for me, with his newly-upgraded Athlon II X4 640 3.0Ghz AM3 AMD quad-core, gets times in the 20:xx.

Seems strange to me, since my CPU should be theoretically better in gaming than his.

Edit: Makes me want to upgrade my 3.0Ghz Q9300 Intel quad-cores, to 4.0Ghz AMD Thuban hex-cores. Newegg has the 1035T for $125 for the next few days. Seems like a really good deal, on a hex-core. With a decent motherboard, you can probably get to 4.0Ghz. It would be sweet! Sadly, I'm in debt right now, because I asked someone to buy me some 2TB HDs for my server earlier this month. Otherwise, I probably would. Good thing I got those HDs before the price-gouging because of the floods. Saved myself $100 over the current price of those HDs.
