Will Intel implement hyperthreading for P4?

But hang on a cotton-dogging minute. Jacksonville, SMT or whatever Intel's calling it right now, isn't going to be implemented for the Pentium 4 (Willamette) core, is it?

At the Developer Forum last, Intel's Paul Otellini appeared to be saying this kind of technology will be implemented in Xe on servers next year.

Still, there isn't really a great deal of difference between a Xeon Foster and a Pentium 4 Willamette, is there, Intella?

Nor between a .13 micron shrink of the die called Northwood for the desktop and one called Prestonia for the server market.

Apart from the number of pins, that is... µ

But hang on a minute THANKS TO THE LINUX COMMUNITY, hyperthreading will be available for the Pentium 4, as the patch here quite clearly shows.
