I also didnt say hyper threading, I said with something similar, ie still send more info but an added step to direct it to different transistor routes, so it would work as hyper threading as normal to help in heavy workload situations but also stop bottlnecks when not under such a heavy load.

While reading up on the new AMD Hammer chips this would seem to be easier to accomplish as it has much larger onboard stuff going on, intergrated memory controller on chip, No more northbrige with the new Hammer reduces latency with memory issues, its going to kill of the Itanium, I wouldn't be surprised if the 5Ghz Itanium never came out, Intel are probably going to apply for a licence to produe x86-64 style chips, this proves Intel are scared of the new Hammer, AMD can screw INTEL out of a huge amount of money for this and it means that everyone should stick with AMD for now because that Northwood chip isn't going to be as good as Hammer.
