SMT Performance Benchmarks Continue To Show Benefit With AMD Zen 5/5C
While Intel's upcoming Core Ultra Series 2 'Lunar Lake' laptop processors are doing away with Hyper Threading (HT) and instead focusing more on additional E cores.
Today's article is quite straight forward and is looking at the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 performance on the ASUS Zenbook S 16 at its defaults and then repeating the tests after setting the "nosmt" kernel parameter and rebooting to disable Simultaneous Multi-Threading. During the benchmarking the CPU thermals and SoC package power consumption were monitored as well for seeing the impact from SMT.
