True but for instance, a Quad Core Intel is seen as an Octocore by the OS but its really just 4 physical and 4 virtual cores. With an AMD Octocore, you get 8 physical cores, there is no virtualizaion, that's 8 full fledged cores. Seeing as how you have 2 Physical Cores in a Module that will share a work load between each other, IMO that is better then having a Physical core and a Virtual to share work load.
This is how I see it as an example;
Intel - You run windows 7 and have a Virtual Machine of XP. Win 7 is the physical real OS, and by itself it can utilize 100% of the hardware it is installed on, but when you start up the VM of XP. You then have 2 OS's running on the same hardware and because of this they both run slower then if they were installed separately on different machines, since Windows 7 has to use some of its resources to run the Virtual XP system.
BD - You have win 7 on one machine and XP on another but with identical hardware. So they both can take full advantage of being separate and perform better.
AGAIN THIS IS JUST MY SPECULATION OF BD MODULE DESIGN AND WHY I BELIEVE IT WILL PERFORM BETTER THEN INTEL'S HYPER-THREADING.
