Use(less) 8-Core?

[PP Mguire]

Okay that makes sense. lol I was under the impression that the flow did not change at all, and that's where I was confused. I think I see why that could be more beneficial in some cases.

Yea HT isn't physical extra cores obviously, so they wont process like physical cores with their own l2 and whatnot. Much like modules not being full cores either. So somewhere in there you have to slow down a little bit because it all comes together after separately being processed.
