The company says the "revolutionary new search service uses proprietary hyper-threading technology to communicate with a growing list of over 200 online authorities, currently under development, to deliver more than just relevancy to users."

-
Intel last year introduced a model of its Xeon line that has six processors; its most recent model, called Nehalem, has four processors, but each processor can handle up to two instructions simultaneously by using a process called hyper-threading.
-
Essentially, this hyper-threading makes one processor look, to a computer's OS, like two chips -- and that significantly speeds up a system's response time.
-
It might have seemed like a meaningless bit of pep-talk had his company not announced, earlier in the day, a new Pentium 4 Xeon server chip that will one day boast speeds of up to 10 GHz and feature a process called simultaneous multi-threading, or, as Intel calls it, "hyper-threading."
-
If you're using hyper-threading, then that is really already doing context switches of a sort and you basically have two SQL schedulers mapped to one physical core.

That can cause problems in the balancing equation, so if you have hyper-threading enabled you need to make sure "max degree of parallelism" is not 0 and is not greater than half the number of visible schedulers.

If you use CPU affinity mask or WSRM to limit the number of cores available to SQL Server, then your "max degree of parallelism" should be no more than the number of cores available to that instance of SQL Server if necessary divided by half for hyper-threading.

The 1.6GHz clock-speed should make it fast, and the hyper-threading means it should multitask like a champ.
