I can't do that, because it's a notebook with only 2 BIOS-options (something virtualization something). Tried disabling both, but that had no effect at all.
As far as I can remember, I tried disabling SMT via Grub, but only to test, if it's booting (wasn't).

But I wouldn't say it's SMT-related, because the CPU runs utterly fine, while it's below it's base clock or at full load.
The freezes also occured on singlethreaded action: While the play-back of random youtube-stuff (autoplay, no user interactions applied) with Palemoon (Firefox fork). That usual took 30 - 120 mins to freeze and was also tested with disabled amdgpu, so I'm pretty sure it's CPU-related.

Have to send it back to the vendor now, because I ran out of time (for the right to return).
