Well, on a per-core basis my old 3.0 GHz P4 Prescott does more work (for Einstein, anyway) than my newer Athlon X2 4600. My major gripe with the old P4s is not how much math they can do, but how much power they consume (and hence how much heat they generate).

3.0 GH Pentium IV CPUs are Hyperthreaded!
The P4 will finish 2 WUs in its 7.8h if the CPU is running hyperthreading enabled.
In which case it should show up 2 CPUs, but this one says it has only one CPU.

Guess why Intel trashed the P4 arcitecture.
No, if you request only to use 1 processor, it shows as 1 processor. The person may want to only use 1 thread, and have the other thread open for other processing they do.
Pooh Bear, you're wrong here. I happen to run BOINC on a dual-processor HT-enabled server thing. As it tends to run rather memory-intensive tasks for its living and those are real dog for Prestonia (and all of its relatives I guess) I limited BOINC to use only 2 procesors (via general_prefs_override.xml). Indeed BOINC only runs 2 project binaries at any given time, but there are still 4 processors reported back to project servers.

On the override file it may do this, but if done via the website I believe it shows differently. Or at least it used to, because I did play with this a few times before.
