Go up one level in this thread
Hyatt has two CPUs. Each CPU will provide about a 16% boost in crafty from Hyper-threading so 16% X 2 = 32%. Pretty much identical to his claim. Now, I'd prefer if when he said this he did it in a bit more detail instead of saying, "Oh, Hyperthreading gives you a 30-33% boost". IMO it should be worded, "With two Xeon chips hyperthreading produces around a 30% speedup in Crafty. This is around 15% per cpu".
