Just this morning I benchmarked my 7960X on RandomX (i.e. Monero mining). That's a 24-core CPU. With 48 cores, it gets about 10kH/s and uses about 100 watts extra. With 48 threads, about 15kH/s and 150 watts. It does make sense with the nature of RandomX.
Another benchmark I've done is .onion vanity address mining. Here it's about a 20% improvement in total throughput when using hyperthreading. It's definitely not useless.
However, I didn't compare to a scenario with hyperthreading disabled in the BIOS. Are you telling me the threads get 20-50% faster, each, with it disabled?
