I'm running a quite old CPU currently, a 6-core Haswell-E i7-5930K. Disabling HT gave me a huge boost in gaming workloads. I'm basically never doing anything that pegs the entire CPU so getting that extra 10-15% IPC for single threaded tasks is huge.
And like you said, the vulnerability consideration makes HT a hard sell for workloads that would benefit (hypervisors).
That i7 is a huge downgrade from what I was running before (long story) so I'm looking forward to Arrow Lake and I like everything I've read. In addition to removing HT, they're supporting Native JEDEC DDR5-6400 Memory so XMP won't be necessary. I've never liked XMP/Expo...
