Intel Xeon 6300 vs. AMD EPYC 4005 SMT/HT Performance
With no significant CPU power increase from SMT/HT in most workloads, Simultaneous Multi-Threading continues to prove to be a very effective option.
SMT on both the AMD EPYC 4345P and Intel Xeon 6369P processors proved beneficial for speeding up kernel build times.
With the large Godot game engine codebase, compiling it on the EPYC 4345P without SMT was as fast as building on the Xeon 6359P with SMT enabled.
The benefit of SMT for code compilation can vary based upon the size of the codebase, the compiler, and other factors, but in any event Simultaneous Multi-Threading still proved to be very effective with these entry-level Linux servers.
