As a consumer who probably does internet banking on their machine, are you willing to bet your entire bank balance on these side channel attacks being nothing to worry about? Never mind enterprise doing virtualisation of hundreds of virtual servers on a single box.Personally i'll take the potential performance/efficiency compromise of not using SMT (if i was making a design trade-off) - for most people processors have been fast enough for a decade now; plenty of people are still running i5-2600k or i7-2700k even on their gaming rigs. Sure there are performance demands beyond that today but most of those are handled by GPU acceleration or add on co-processors or dedicated instructions these days.
