Hyperthreading - Finally an answer

[TheEditor]

On Topic....

The question is if hyperthreading's "yes but not so much" worth $100?
I'm guessing that your looking between the 2500k and the 2600k right?

I'll tell you in 10 days.

Doesn't make any sense to buy a new machine before the first tests.

true that! Let other people be the guinea pigs.

And "taking advantage" of HT is very close in meaning to "make use", so taking the answer of Mr. Maddox literally, you get "CoD makes use of HT, but not much.".

A question along the lines of "Does CoD get a performance boost when HT is enabled?" could have resulted in a more useful answer. If the answer to that question would have been "not much", you would have at least known you'd get a 1% benefit or more.

If I'm playing devil's advocate too much in your eyes, I'm sorry. I just think it's important to not read too much into the information we're given and don't see things that aren't there.

My english is just not good enough to find the best fitting expressions.
But you could give it a try at Youtube, but make sure your question is always on top (unless you don't want an answer )

Oh, I'd like an answer, but I'm just not going to chase every possible site on the net where the oracle might appear. This is the site where you'd expect to get answers. Mr. Maddox would have been well advised to appoint a forum secretary, who would read the forum and filter the valid questions and observations for him. An intern would be well suited for such a job and it would help keep Mr. Maddox sanity and time 'wasted' on this forum to a minimum.

Yes, but I guess I'll go for the 2600k anyway. The question was not only my personal interest and it was more to find out if the engine supports new technologies. We'll see if the cores will be busy or not.
If not, then it's definately Oleg's engine that isn't up to the hardware and not the other way around.
