Have you disabled hyperthreading yet, /g/?

i've never owned a cpu that supports hyperthreading

>>58717365
actually narrowly missed it, now that i look into it
used mostly intel cpus up until my 1.7GHz P4, HT came to P4's a year after my model
my next cpu was an athlon 64

>>58717386
Why would I ever disable hyperthreading?

>>58717328
I'm using an FX6300, so yes.

>>58717328
Why would you disable something that you specifically paid a hefty pricetag for? That's like buying a happy meal only for the cheeseburger and throwing everything else in the trash. It would have been cheaper just to buy the burger itself.

Why would I do that?

No, why would I disable a feature I paid for?

>>58717437
>operating systems not supporting it
not a problem in $__CURRENT_YEAR
>energy inefficiency, especially on ARM
not an issue on desktops

No, because I bought a CPU that doesn't have hyperthreading. Didn't see a reason to fork over the extra cash. Fuck the "i7 gaymen" meme BTW.

What are the benefits of hyper threading on a modern OS?

OP's just throwing out bait. There is no reason to disable it.

So where are the drawbacks in 2017?

>>58717328
Obviously. It sucks gay balls.

I wish I could disable hypertension.

>>58718015
Hmm, doesn't jump anywhere so I can only assume that there are none.

Thanks for clearing that up.

It does increase power usage and temperatures by a small amount but it's offset by the significant increases in efficiency. In general it's better leave it enabled unless you run one of the handful of tasks that don't benefit from it or if you want better power usage and don't mind losing a decent amount of performance.
