When you need to pay the electricity bill of your co-located little server box from your salary, every cent counts:)

In that situation you likely aren't overclocking the processor, so you aren't buying the unlocked version(to save every cent;)), so you will have the features if you plan to use them.

OCers turn them off anyway, so why have them?

I see no reason to disable anything on newwer INtel chips. makes ZERO difference in 24/7 clocking. Record attempts, sure, but daily OC on 1155/2011 see ZERO benefit from disabling anything, including HT.

IF there is a benefit, the BIOS is screwed, and needs to be updated.

I'm confused tbh, how "the unlocked version" comes to "vt-d" and "i3":confused:
