Re: OT: New Processor

From my understanding, hyperthreading and dual cores don't really improve performance for games by much because games are generally not written to take advantage of mulitple processors. Both dual cores and hyperthreading are ways to pretend to have multiple processors. They are primarily buzz words these days.

If you are running multiple processor-intensive applications at once, these technologies will help. But the chances of that are pretty slim...
