AthlonXP 2.52 GHz, not performance rating 2520. The AthlonXP 2800 is only
clocked at 2.25 GHz. The 1860 MHz AthlonXP is approximately AthlonXP 2200. Bus
speed is important to keep in mind, too, and none of these chips are running at
a standard (100/133/166 MHz) bus speed.

It would be more valuable to compare the P4 3 GHz with and without HT to the
AthlonXP 2800 on their default bus speeds. I believe this is what Dr. Hyatt was
advocating, too. Nobody has done that, though.
