In 1968, IBM had introduced a new concept that could enable Software Threads at the lowest level transparent to the application developers, this was known as SMT or Simultaneous Multithreading.

Sure, it was a great innovation but several years later was copied and re-branded as Hyper Threading (HT) by Intel #mce_temp_url#in it’s x86 processors. Intel claims it to produce two parallel threads without loss in performance. Well, it’s not true.

Well, here is the solution- Get best of both worlds.

Lucid last year promised to develop a chipset that would enable any motherboard to work with any combination of GPUs and still able to get 100 percent of the performance out of both.

It took them more than a year to fight against laws of physics :) . Now, the company has .. Read Further »
