The Integer gap between Gracemont and Golden Cove is only 25%. Yes, clock speed will make all the difference. Also in the workloads Bergamo and SRF is supposed to compete in, SMT doesn't really matter. That's why ARM servers are competitive despite lack of it.

No. SMT does really matter in many workloads and provides significant performance uplift where relevant. See those workloads below.
Growing popularity of ARM servers has nothing to do with usefulness of SMT on Bergamo SKUs which sell now like hot cakes.

"Fails" is such a wreckless and irresponsible statement from a journalist of TPU's calibre. These products are designed for specific applications and Intel's tertiary services and easier integration make them a more compelling option than Bergamo.

Couldn't agree more. Just pandering to AMD crowd.
