It appears Intel is back in the lead! Any engine which supports SMP is ready to take advantage of hyperthreading. The question is if the current hyperthreading is good enough to be actually of some use. Robert claims that Crafty gets a small speedup from it. I seem to remember there was some stuff about this in CSS and that they concluded that the current hyperthreading in P4's was not good enough to speed up Deep Fritz. I don't know of any results for other commercials. If someone has a P4 and a copy of those programs, I'd like to see them. One things for sure, if Intel keeps improving and pushing hyperthreading, then any dual capable engine is going to have an advantage. -- GCP
