I know that Hyperthreading acts like another core but it is not really a real core, and performance of that virtual core is somewhat between 10 to 50 percent depending on the application.
On the mainstream/consumer based CPUs. Intel could remove the hyper-threading for now and focus more on greatly improving the IPC on the real cores? I mean most programs are written to run efficiently on two cores and just starting to really efficiently utilize four cores.
