SMT Performance Benchmarks Continue To Show Benefit With AMD Zen 5/5C

While Intel's upcoming Core Ultra Series 2 "Lunar Lake" laptop processors are doing away with Hyper Threading (HT) and instead focusing more on additional E cores. AMD has asserted Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) is still beneficial and supported across both their Zen 5 and Zen 5C cores. For those curious about the SMT performance and power efficiency impact, here are some SMT on/off comparison benchmarks using the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 "Strix Point" laptop processor.
