The extra execution threads provided by hyperthreading are like 70% as effective as those provided by extra cores, and when most gaymes don't even have 4 threads running at any one time that'll peg the CPU, it's really just a gimmick. The 2MB more L3 is probably nice.

I'm glad I have the embedded graphics so I can drop this processor into a htpc and not have to buy some semi-shitty discreet card whenever I upgrade next (probably in 8 years at my current rate)
