AMD continues to support Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) in their Zen 5 and Zen 5C cores, arguing it provides performance and efficiency benefits. Benchmark tests were conducted on the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor in the ASUS Zenbook S 16 to compare performance and power consumption with SMT enabled and disabled. Results were monitored to understand the impact on CPU thermals and power usage, especially in competition with Intel's upcoming Lunar Lake processors.
