What are the advantages/disadvantages of adding more threads to your cpu?
Would an i3 with 2 cores 8 threads, or an i7 with 3 cores 16 threads, perform better than the current lineup in multithreading?
Why does Intel only use 2 threads per core with hyperthreading?
What about GPUs? They're heavily focused on more cores. Why don't they add more threads through SMT?

only if your software supports it

Like rendering?
And isn't dx12 8 threads?
How close to an i5 6600 would an i3 6100 get if it had 8 threads in something like h264 encoding and decoding?
Would adding the extra threads even help, or is there no point?

Sounds like a good deal for doing small tasks in parallel like an HTTP server.
