This is not a fair comment: Ryzen had a crash that can be triggered by compiling with GCC and a memory compatibility issue where it cannot run them at their nominal speed. Ryzen is a really young architecture, it already had like 6 stable patches of microcode and you can expect way more.
Is there any published errata for Ryzen or other family 17h CPUs?
Still seems to be doing better than "turn off half of your processor, sorry no fix just buy a new one".
Hyperthreads are just that - threads. It won't be 50 % slower with HT disabled.
Intel still charge extra $100 for it.

Depends on the workload… If all the stuff you run uses different parts of the pipeline, HT helps a lot
Actually TFA mentions there's already a fix.
For some models.
