I see that Ryzen now has hyperthreading.
Isn't that an Intel technology? How did they manage to get it?
Hyperthreading is just intel's branding for their own implementation of SMT. Intel didn't invent the concept of SMT.
Several other architectures utilize virtual threads via SMT, like IBM's POWER processors.

Hyperthreading is intel's own branding of SMT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simultaneous_multithreading)
They tweak some things here and there and call it their own shit for marketing purposes.
They are copycats, just like lunix.

That's funny, as ayymdtards always looked down on HT.

Now that's just straight up wrong.
SMT and Hyperthreading are sound technologies, but they rely on proper implementation on the part of developers. Which as we know. Devs can't be relied on. So as a result some applications would actually see worse performance if hyperthreading was enabled. The problem was always lazy developers.

HT on Netburst,yes. but on a modern architecture? Hell no.
Took 10 years but Intel finally got HT right in Sandy Bridge compared to P4
