It's good question, does SMT in Zen have higher ultilization?
IF this is the case, Zen's power consumption might be much higher when SMT is on, thus it would have potencially less efficiency compared to Intel's. For example, BD/PD/SR has significantly higher consumption when go from 2C to 2M4C.
But AMD's own demo tell us, Zen's power consumption is not high. This COULD imply a low utilization of AMD's SMT.
Just a thought, I could be wrong.![]()
If it has higher utilization, then that could just mean faster execution ie: race to idle
