My idea here is slightly different: can't we leverage SMT?
Most modern CPUs do SMT (I guess even ARM does it nowadays)
(Yes, I know about spectre and things. We're talking performance here :-)

I only know two of those: Cavium TX2 and ARM Neoverse-E1.
ARM SMT CPUs are the absolute minority (and I can't say I'm displeased).

Ach, too bad.

Still a nice idea, putting SMT finally to some use ...

Cheers,
