This thread got me curious about something else. For all of the Intel Core and Xeon CPUs that have HT, it is always 2 threads per core, correct? Will Intel increase the number of threads per core, to say 4? (If I am not mistaken, Power7 already has this, up to 8 cores with 4 threads per core, for a total of up to 32 threads ). I don't know, an Intel quad core chip with 4 threads per core (16 total) has a nice ring to it. No, I really don't have a need for this hypothetical chip. Just curious is all.hi guys, i want to upgrade for quite a while now but i can't see any 8core intels with 16threads ...
