Nobody said they were trying to sell you on it. This is simply a discussion, some people may want/use it and others won't. Could be EPYC or TR only, or used for very low power devices that don't have as many physical cores to keep up. They could release a 3 core 12 thread apu for a laptop, or 2 core 8 thread and it would use the smt in a lot of current work loads. They could put it in a 64/256 package for Enterprise. There are target audiences, if you aren't one and don't care, great. I like discussing technical features and possibilities, I run servers at work and a personal dual Xeon server at my house. This interests me more than someone that just games as high of fps as possible. I don't buy a $1k GPU, but a $1k CPU I would depending on its merits.It's not stupid to include those workloads if AMD is trying to sell me on SMT4 in a desktop processor.... and someone writing an article on SMT should be including those cases where SMT is NOT beneficial, or not as beneficial, or a detriment, otherwise it is an incomplete picture as I stated in my previous post...
