Go up one level in this thread

If I understand SMT correctly, its even more than that.  A modern processor has
a lot of functional units lying around.  An Athlon can in theory execute 3
branches, 3 integer instructions, and 3 floating point instructions every cycle.
 In reality, most of the time those units are just sitting around. One of the
ideas behind SMT is that you can run 2 threads, and split the functional units
between them.
