So I get to work this morning and there's a brand new workstation sitting next to my desk, still in the box.
It has a Xeon 5680 6-core CPU, and I'm used to AMD Opterons.
I'm wondering if there will be any beneift (or drawback) to turning on hyperthreading and/or the enhanced turbo boost mode. Any links to benchmarks would be welcome. The software I use the most is Autodesk Inventor 2010 and Mastercam X4.
