Reverse-Hyperthreading

Makes a multi-core cpu pretend to be a single core for non-multithreaded apps. Should be *very* handy for a lot of games.

Is also built into AM2 already

Well that beats having to set processor affinity for dodgy games.

by are very, very long way, potentially it'll give you a 4-6ghz cpu in effect. (depending very much how, and how well it works)

Hehe. AMD has many aces and don't show them directly.

People there transformed the job of making CPU's into art.

And yet there are more to come and they don't say anything about.

Wait to see the opterons CPU line, when 4 cores will be available. I would like to see intel what they will do.

Hehehe.

Well its in the movie, thats how

Its a bit of arse that the technology isn't true, but like the article also says, dual and quad core support is coming from the OS side, not the hardware side.
