Just spotted this @ Theinquirer.net! Looks like Intel are going on a marketing drive....Hehe I wonder if hyperthreading can help me to make Pigs fly.

A demo on its site ? it requires Flash to view ? compares a spreadsheet calculation. That takes five minutes 39.9 seconds on a 3.06GHz Pentium 4 without hyperthreading while with hyperthreading, Intel claims it takes 35.58 seconds.
