Poor AMD their bulldozer architecture got so much flak for not including SMT and now everyone's moving away from it.
Yes yes I know bulldozer had a bunch more issues than just no SMT. It actually had the exact opposite with multiple cores sharing the same ALU or something like that. But still they could have been onto something if they had made it marginally more performant.

The PowerXX architecture isn't moving away from it. Power10 currently supports SMT8 (8 threads per core) effectively and I can't imagine them moving away from it given all of the work they've done over the years to continue to evolve their design around SMT.
