hyperthreading vs hypertransporting technology

[robina_80]

i know what HT means but not really HTT is HTT the actual speed at which all the hardware talk to eachother so is HT better?!?

Hyperthreading and Hypertransport has nothing to do with each other. Hypertransport is a Bus on AMD and Hyperthreading is Intels way of simulating a Processor core as two cores.

thats what i thought its amds new FSB and i know intel use QPI but what about intels HT has amd come up with there own technology like that coz thats making me move towards intel as it gives it 4 more virtual cores over amds just quad core

AMD next processor, Bulldozer will do it better. Instead of simulating one core as two, they are really having two integer clusters each with it own cache and 4 pipelines each. I guess you could almost say each core is really two. Instead of calling it a core they will call it a module.

Stranglehold is right, they are completely different. HTT and hyper transport are also different thing, htt is the reference clock/ ratio clock / base clock similar to the fsb on intel systems. Whereas the hyper transport is as you said the speed components communicate to put it bluntly but you gain nothing from raising the speed and stock is optimal
