AMD confirms support for SSE3 Digg Topic • Tag topic on On del.icio.us • Technorati Search • Post to Slashdot You are currently in Hardware, Internet, Networking, Comms and Security Sun Feb 06, 2005 8:20 pm Reply and quote this post Read this article, it says that AMD will have in there Athlon 64's Hyper Threading Technology & SSE3. I guess Intel is letting AMD use there Hyper Threading as AMD let Intel use there AMD64 instructions. Now AMD will be FASTER than EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D Contributed by Turbo 64, iVirtua Leading Contributor 100 iVirtua Loyalty Points • View Profile • Send Private Message • Back to Top Sun Feb 06, 2005 8:24 pm Reply and quote this post Nice read. That would be quite beneficial to AMD when they enable the Hyper Threading along with there fast HTT.

Though, I think AMD will use it to here advantage. Can you imagine Dual Core CPU s with HT? :) Contributed by Super XP, iVirtua Ultimate Contributor 100 iVirtua Loyalty Points • View Profile • Send Private Message • Back to Top Mon Feb 07, 2005 1:27 pm Reply and quote this post Finally AMD will have a CPU which will give Intel good competition in MultiTasking & such. Dual Core's for both companies are going to Rock with Hyper Threading & SSE3. :wacko: Contributed by Intel Fan Boyz, iVirtua Valued Contributor 100 iVirtua Loyalty Points • View Profile • Send Private Message • Back to Top Wed Feb 09, 2005 7:16 pm Reply and quote this post how much do  you think that'll take up on their chip size? after all, (for the average Joe) they havent provided a whole lot of software that can use the Hyper Threading to an advantage.

I think for the AMD Opteron, the Hyper Threading will be very beneficial, especially with Dual Core CPU's coming soon. :) Contributed by Super XP, iVirtua Ultimate Contributor 100 iVirtua Loyalty Points • View Profile • Send Private Message • Back to Top Wed Mar 09, 2005 6:57 pm Reply and quote this post I real want to know if they do use that hyper threading what will they do with hyper transport? is that not basicaly the same thing?

No. They are two completely different technologies. AMD's Hyper Transport Technology is a high speed Point to Point Link (BUS). Simply, instead of having one FSB (INTEL), AMD's HTT directly connects to the RAM, PCIE, AGP, Printer Port etc. at a high speed 2000MHz +. Intel's Hyper Threading technology is like running one CPU as a Dual Core. It's Multithreaded, but many app's & programs do not support it just yet. The Hyper Threading Technology is an add on like SSE3 is. Where as AMD's Hyper Transport Technology is part of the CPU Design.

( I heard that some where.)

( I heard that some where.) Intel invented Hyper Threading. Intel also invented SSE, SSE2 & SSE3. AMD has given Intel there AMD64-bit extentions to use. As Intel gave AMD there SSE, SSE2 & SSE3. Both HTT & HT play a different role & cannot really be compared. Both technologies are great, but I do agree that AMD's Hyper Transport Technology is a better breakthrough technology than the Hyper Threading.
