Introduction
Nearing the launch of the Intel Core 2 Duo, also known as Conroe, AMD seems to have a secret weapon.
Although by some hard and software experts called bogus, Reversed HyperThreading seem the most logical advancement for this time.
Now that most programs are still single threaded, like for instance games, it's because a more and more appealing idea.
What is Reversed HyperThreading?
To make a long story very short and simple; it makes multiple cores work as 1. The advantages are clear and with the new 4x4 platform of AMD, it seems a very wise step.(2x3800 would be with RHT 4x Athlon 64 3200 combined in 1 caluclation madness. Maybe effectively making it a Athlon 64 8Ghz?)
Now most dual cores have only 1 core doing all the calculations, while the other one sits back and relaxes. With this Reversed HyperThreading, multiple cores with be able to handle a single thread at the same time.
And if the applications IS multithreaded, it will leave Reversed HyperThreading off.
There is just one downside, it only works with AM2 Dual Cores.
Could it be true?
As I stated earlier, many people, including experts, say it's bogus. But is it?
A just new program was released by AMD, the AMD Dual Core Optimizer is giving the rumor more and more credibility.
Final Word
Possibilities could be endless. With rumors saying AMD will buyout ATi, it could even give a significant performance boost to ATi's crossfire. Just think of a near 100% performance increase of your added videocard.
These times are good times for computer technology.
