Just spotted this @ The inquirer.net:
Last summer Intel started sampling Pentium 4 processors with Hyperthreading. At the time the chips came in 2.53GHz and 2.8GHz varieties. Since then, the only Pentium processor with Hyperthreading enabled to appear on the shelves has been the 3.06GHz Pentium 4. But suppose that much cheaper processors also had Hyperthreading on them, just disabled. And what if the thing disabling the Hyperthreading also set the processor clock speed?
