The x264 video encoding though did benefit from HT.

The OpenMP-using GraphicsMagick wasn't benefited by Hyper Threading on this six-core CPU, but then again with this imaging application in particular we generally don't see it scale past a few cores anyways.

The 7-Zip compression benchmark saw a 30% performance boost thanks to Hyper Threading.

The Stockfish chess engine was also about 30% faster with HT enabled.
