You are running R80.XX on an open server and you see a high CPU utilization on your 12 CPU cores. You now want to enable Hyperthreading to get more cores to gain some performance. What is the correct way to achieve this?

To enable Hyperthreading on an open server running R80.XX, you must first turn on Hyperthreading (HAT) in the BIOS of the server. After the server boots up, you need to enable it through the cpconfig command. This process ensures that Hyperthreading is properly recognized and supported by the operating system and software running on the server.
I believe it´s C the right one: SMT is supported only on Security Gateways running Gaia OS with 64-bit kernel. SMT is supported on the following releases: On Check Point Appliances, SMT is supported by R77 release and later. On Open Servers, SMT is supported by R80.40 Jumbo HF #45 and later, and the CPU must also support SMT.

C if the version is higher than R80.40 JHF 45 otherwise A. Since it says R80.XX it's open to interpretation.
sk93000 under Frequently Asked Questions. I have an Open Server. Can I enable SMT in the BIOS and use it? Yes, and after enabling the feature in the BIOS you must also enable Hyper-Threading via cpconfig.
