I read hyperthreading gives an average 20% boost. That's it and you'll pay for it. The 3.06 price is $709. Almost twice what the next one down is, the 2.8 at $377.

Intel's first string CPU always cost $700. This is to get the big bucks from the rich and desparate. I always buy a couple of notches down. But in the last two years, I'v bought nothing but AMD.

It would be smart of them to put this on thier Xeon chips, anyone running a dual or Quad CPU Server would be would have 4x's the processing speed of anything out there on the X86 base
