First up is looking at a variety of workloads where SMT proved advantageous for Bergamo with the EPYC 9754 processors.

Blender 3D modeling with its CPU-based rendering tended to still benefit marginally from having SMT available with the new AMD EPYC Bergamo processors.

The Blender render times sped up with SMT enabled while only having a small impact on the CPU power consumption.

The LuxCore renderer similarly benefited a lot with the SMT support found on the EPYC 9754 and yielded better power efficiency.
