17 R4, BIOS, Hyper-threading locked, Intel SpeedStep failing

Hello, 

The past few days I was looking on how to disable hyper-threading on my Alienware 17 R4, and I was really surprised that a laptop advertised to be a "gaming laptop", has such a limited BIOS, without even the option to disable Hyper-threading. 
I contacted tech support and they told me that the system is "made that way" and there is no option to disable hyper-threading.

Many games have issues with Hyper-threading, both old and new, and it really doesn't benefit gaming at all, it's more useful for multi-tasking. It takes more battery power, generates more heat, causes more instability problems, and at best gives a 10-15% boost in speed only in ideal conditions, which is rarely "playing a video game when nothing else is running". Anyway whatever is your reason, you SHOULD be able to disable hyper-threading on any computer equipped with i7.

As for my next issue - Intel speedstep.

I also wanted to disable speedstep so the cores won't be controlled and throttled dynamically.  This time there was an option in the BIOS to disable it, BUT, surprise surprise. After disabling speedstep and restarting, my cores were all LOCKED at 800MHz and the computer went super slow. Contacting support I was told yet again that "the system is made to be run with speedstep and disabling it will cause under-performing" and also was told that there is no plan on fixing those issues in the future.

So that's great. Paying $3000 for a laptop with such limited options. Funny thing is my old M17x R3 had such greater options and BIOS.

I decided to post this here as a last resort in case someone has a workaround on how to disable hyper-threading and a way to properly disable speedstep as well. As for an updated BIOS with those options enabled I really hope so but probably wont happen.
