Pentium D w/ HT?

It's a typo. The only Dual Core processors to have HT are the Pentium EE's.

I thought so, but i wanted to make sure. Cause i would pay that if it had HT :)

That's right. The Pentium D EEs are "4" core processors.

As jet said, a Pentium EE is basically the same thing as a Pentium D, except each core has HT, so its like having 4 cores.
 
i wouldn't pay for that! it may perform well... but id rather a core duo...
i mean, hyperthreading uses alot of wattage... and the pentium 4 core's on that chip aren't that good anyways. i mean, i'd MUCH rather a core duo...
or even my own proc :)
in fact on the THG cpu charts, even the 3200+ schooled it in gaming. (that is, without hyperthreading)
now, of course... you try encoding and it would school any single core athlon 64 EASILY.

whats your superpi score with it? :P since you seem to like that benchmark so much :) lol
bet your core duo beats it in superpi lol
and sisoftware sandra?

lol my memory is better still :P mine outperforms ddr2 1000 on a normal basis...
its also running under its stock voltage (2.71V vs. 2.75) it runs VERY cool, doesnt even feel warm... and ive gotten it to DDR516! ddr433 is stock, 2-3-2-6! lol... now its running at 3-3-2-5 tho...

actually.. just checked that out. does it use netburst or whatever? i heard netburst is super HOT running... 65nm is nice though.
either way it probably overclocks decent...
thats a really good chip for multitasking :)
but, im a gamer... solely. i prefer AMD single or dual core over it.
for $258 or w/e the price was, thats a really nice proc. id prefer a 3700+ over it anyday though.

fill in those benchmarks! lol im interested...

Hyperthreading
Hyperthreading is an innovation made by Intel designed to facilitate and assist the execution of multiple threads. For most consumer applications this translates to an improved multitasking experience however marketers tend to like to "suggest" that it is like having twice the processing power -- which it is not. It should also be noted that Hyperthreading really only shines through when multiple CPU-intensive tasks are executing simultaneously.

Dual/Multi Core
A recent craze, Dual and multi core processors are, for all intents and purposes, "two processors inside one convenient package". Each processor will have independent access to cache and stackspace; by having multiple cores the processor as a whole can deal with multiple threads of execution (i.e., multiple applications, multiple instructions etc) without any [significant/measureable] overhead (i.e., Dual Core processors are what marketers hype-up HyperThreading to be)

it isn't at all as good as having 4 cores... or at least that is what Praetor says about it...;)

hmm... my dad has a Intel Pentium D 820 and in the bios it says the processor's HT is enabled...
 
did you get rid of your laptop? or sell it? if you're looking to sell, im interested :) im going into college next year :) lol
that was addressed to OMEGA... core duo is nice for a lappy proc :P

he already sold it.

Not really. All a HyperThreaded CPU has is 2x the registers so transistor count (and wattage) aren't increased a lot. With 2 threads executing each logical core (register set 1 and set 2) gets a turn at the pipeline. I find HyperThreading is only good for maintaining system responsiveness when doing a CPU intensive task, multithreaded applications don't run that much faster.

That only means if the CPU supports HyperThreading enable it. For CPUs not supporting HT it does nothing.
