Reverse Hyperthreading does not exist

Apologies to the fanbois, but I am about to kill some nice AMD dreams. Reverse Hyperthreading does not exist. It’s one of the bigger loads of bluff and bluster cooked up in a long time.

AMD doesn’t have any such technology. It would like to have it but even the upcoming K8L quad core won’t be able to present a dual or quad core as a single core to the Operating system.

I am one who personally won’t care either way if reverse hyperthreading comes to be, but it -would- be an interesting concept. If it’s not true.. then where did the idea originate?
