Definately dual core

Two is better than one.

Think about this logically - Intel are ditching their own HyperThreading technology in favour of Dual Core for their next generation of processors.

Even Intel thinks dual core is better.

dual core. HT is a 2 core emulation. emulation means it's not as good as the real thing

for the netburst, i think they didn't want to give a dual core setup with ht so easily, then why would xeons be wanted? wouldn't it make sense to save it for the extreme edition? that seems more logical to me. and maybe the new architecture doesn't call for it, cause remember, it is totally different now. and i have read rumors in the forums that they will put hyper threading and netburst later all in one. i don't totally believe that, or know if that is even possible, but i leave that it might just be an option on later processors. as for the "ditching" of hyper threading, you got to watch more carefully then that. we have yet to see some serious benchmarking on the paxville xeons... kind of leaves me in wonder about that.

Here you go

It is a short review but does get the point across.

I wouldn't completely rule out HT yet, you can get a decent P4 HT for right around a hundred bucks but a decent dual core will usually run you over $200.

Yes, dual core is better performance, but it's twice the price for not nearly twice the performance.

If you're on a budget or are thinking about upgrading again in a year or two HT might not be a bad choice.

HyperThreading only accelerates some tasks, and even worse, actually slows down others.

Dual-core is always better than hyperthreading. I love AMD, but I've got to admit that Intel has some REALLY GOOD dual-core pricing.

4 Single Core Opterons or Dual Dual Core Opterons ;-)

They are a lot more affordable than you might think :-D

Definitely Dual Core
