Thank god I only by AMD. It is just like their "hyperthreading" scheme. They make it sound like two processors but it only works with certain software.
Hyperthreading doesn't require special software like 64 bit applications do. HT processors can do multiple tasks at once instead of doing tasks linearly, hence speeding up the system a great deal.

ok, but how is this different to what amd are doing
an athon 2500+ goes nowhere near 2500Mhz.
Although the processors themselves don't run at 2.5 gig, they run at about the same speed as a Pentium 4 2.5 ghz. It's saying it has the same speed without stealing Intel's marketing.
