Multi-core processors on the Intel side are typically much faster and run cooler than P4/Xeon Hyperthreading processors. Also, I have heard HT processors explained this way, on an HT processor it's like running 2 virtual processors at 70% of the specs of the processor with HT turned off. It's not really like that in all situations, but overall it has held pretty much true for me in most non-Asterisk situations. Asterisk didn't benefit much from having HT enabled on a P4 with HT capability.
