As a matter of fact, AMD showed SMT2 in the presentation. The trick is that SMT4 core can be switched into SMT2 mode too, so that presentation was correct. AMD never said Zen3 has no SMT4. Prove me wrong and find any official denial of SMT4 by AMD.
Tachyum Prodigy is resurecting code-morphing Transmeta-like core. What if Zen3 uses code-morphing too? Maybe K12 was not canceled but rather merged with Zen3. So Zen3 will be able to run x86 code as well as ARM binaries. And support both AVX and SVE2 SIMD. AMD could gain from ARM's new features and faster development (better ISA ARMv9, 6xALUs, 2048-bit SVE2 FPU) while keeping x86 backward compatibility. That would be pretty smart move.
I have proven you wrong before. There will be no SMT4 in Zen 3. You are a fool to believe otherwise.
