Great, pay a premium for the top of the line CPU to get anything more than 4 threads, that disable it...

Only until a fix is available, if it isn't already yet.
It is, the issue being fixed was the only feedback the OCaml community received.
Premium != perfect. You pay for the extra speed, cache, etc.
And since a cheaper cpu can have the same or worse bugs, the point is moot.
You don't pay i7 vs i5 etc for better quality control.
For that you have to go to enterprise/server grade stuff that costs much more (Xeon). And even there, nothing is guaranteed to be perfect.
In fact, with the complexity of modern CPUs/GPUs it's a minor miracle that anything works at all. We have it better than ever...
