Rumor: Intel Core Multiplexing Technology

FCG from XS, has posted a nice diagram on how CMT works on Chipzilla system. There's still not many details regarding this CPU feature, but it would seem that it will help applications that are not designed to run on multi-core system. Click on the image for the bigger version.

Not sure why there is so much resistance to this technology. The work is already done, Core 2 already contains all the technology required to implement this new feature.

1) L2 cache is shared and does not require bus access to read/write.
2) Single FSB shared by both cores.
3) Cores can be dynamically enabled/disabled.
4) L2 cache can be dynamically assigned.
5) Individual execution units can be dynamically powered-up and down.
