On: Does simultaneous multithreading still make sense?

It also doesn't mean others will fix their damn products.

And even if they do, it doesn't mean anyone will replace existing hardware already deployed into production.

Sure, there's no guarantee, but that's not a particularly good reason to write off SMT wholesale.

People who already have Intel CPUs in production aren't just going to turn off hyper-threading, either, regardless of what we say about whether or not future products should support it.
