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.
That's less than 50% of the price for CPUs with HT.
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.
