core i7

Anyone have a chance to try a core i7 chip with the Linux smp client yet? Curious to see what the ppd will be like. I also wonder what affect on performance hyper threading will have.

You can find some results on FCF :

Overall, it seems HT is helping nicely with SMP clients, especially on A2 core.

Thanks for the links, I usually avoid reading things @ FCF which is probably why I didn't see those threads before

I'm the same way, but it may be safer now after a certain ousting.
