Four threads per core?
Is that useful?
Yes, it's good for low complexity, large scope use cases.
The classic example is transaction processing (that's what those IBM mainframe with 4 way and 8 way SMT are often used for).
I was gonna say this might be more proof of concept than actual applications right now
Make the hardware and they will come...
Has been a thing in IBM processors for years.
They even do 8-way multithreading. Doesn't handle fundamentally different than 2-way, except you have less hardware = less compute per thread. Basically the same as using slower clocking cores, if they hide the multithreading right.
