Theo (of OpenBSD) famously ranted about Intel's implementation of SMT/hyperthreading ~12 years ago https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=118296441702631&w=2

you sure about that link? he's talking about a core that didn't have SMT and is ranting, in general, about errata existing and wildly misrepresenting their impact

never mind that most errata are conditional until the ucode patch load, but that particular rant has nothing to do with HT
