"I mentioned before that Intel is using Nehalem to mark the return of
HyperThreading to its bag of weapons in the CPU battle; the process is
nearly identical to that of the older NetBurst processors and allows two
threads to run on a single CPU core. But SMT (simultaneous multi-threading)
or HyperThreading is also a key to keeping the 4-wide execution engine fed
with work and tasks to complete. With the larger caches and much higher
memory bandwidth that the chip provides this is a very important addition."
