but it has no disadvantages, so it can be stay enabled and so the virt. cores are there if they are needed. Performance lost because of the little overhead of HT managment is long ago. More complex is in meanwhile the P- vs E-core management. I have no issue with my system with same CPU - more in contrast of that the sim runs much smoother compared to my old CPU ( an i7-8700K ). Therefore the recommendation for let run a perf-test/stress-tool.
