Re:Linus Torvalds has switched to AMD by willis936 on Monday May 25, 2020 @08:00AM (#23300168)
While shoring up nomenclature: I believe “simultaneous multi-threading” (SMT) is the generic term and “Hyperthreading” is Intel’s branding of their SMT implementation.

Calling AMD’s SMT “hyperthreading” is like calling all tissues Kleenex. It’s fine imo, but it doesn’t hurt to know these things.
