Reviews of AMD’s Zen 5 processors this week surprised many, with lower-than-expected results.

This article presents our findings, including comparisons with the 7800X3D and 7700X with SMT turned off.
I know the article says what it is, I know it’s wrong, I know it’s irrelevant…
But I can’t read “SMT” as anything other as Shin Megami Tensei.
