When you need to pay the electricity bill of your co-located little server box from your salary, every cent counts

In that situation you likely aren't overclocking the processor, so you aren't buying the unlocked version(to save every cent), so you will have the features if you plan to use them.

OCers turn them off anyway, so why have them?

I see no reason to disable anything on newwer INtel chips. makes ZERO difference in 24/7 clocking. Record attempts, sure, but daily OC on 1155/2011 see ZERO benefit from disabling anything, including HT.

IF there is a benefit, the BIOS is screwed, and needs to be updated.

I'm confused tbh, how "the unlocked version" comes to "vt-d" and "i3"
