Nope I am sure that SMT is a different implementation then what Intel calls Hyper Threading. What you are saying that there enough commonalities to blur them. I am sure that you can find yourself a few examples where they discuss the difference between SMT and HT that they approximately do the same job is something we both know.
Usually processors are designated as cores and threads
Er, no. Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) and hyperthreading (HT) are exactly the same thing.

Agner Fog said:Some processors take multithreading even further by running two threads in each core. This is what Intel calls hyperthreading (also called simultaneous multithreading).
