After further checking, you will get 4 threads with the new Intel D840 extreme edtition. This cpu has 2 cores and Hyperthreading enabled thus giving 4 threads. Snap from toms hardware: Although the new processor's codename Smithfield implied a completely new design, the reality is that the CPU consists of two Prescott cores with 1 MB of L2 cache; no features such as additional instruction sets were added. The regular Pentium D also lost its Hyper Threading capability, which is an exclusive feature of the Extreme Edition, making this the only difference between the Pentium D and the Pentium EE of the 800 series except for the latter coming with a freely selectable multiplier. The latter is only available as the 840 model running at 3.2 GHz.
