    Xeon 678X Hyper-Threading Delivers 29% Faster Blender Renders

    Hyper-Threading remains a meaningful performance switch on Intel’s Xeon 678X workstation processor: Phoronix found that leaving it enabled lifted CPU-only Blender rendering by roughly 26% to 29% and reduced code-compilation time by about 13%, with no material change in the outlet’s recorded CPU...
