The Intel Arrow Lake CPUs are reported to come out in late 2024 or early 2025 with a mix of Lion Cove P-cores and Skymont E-cores. According to leaked internal documents posted on X, the ARL-S chips appear to top out at 24 cores with a GT1 iGPU, a 125 W TDP, and no Hyperthreading. Additionally, the documents also list key details about the new 800 series platform for desktop ARL-S processor.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Desktop-Intel-Arrow-Lake-S-appears-to-follow-Apple-M-SoCs-with-no-Hyperthreading-as-internal-documents-leak-key-specs-and-chipset-details.795626.0.html
Lol? Hyperthreading/HTT/SMT never existed before Xeons in 2002, it was literally created by Intel and then introduced to Pentium 4 desktops later that year. Let's not pretend that it was always there since the dawn of humanity and that Apple did another "innovation" by removing it so why the heck to even pull comparisons with Apple there at all?
That's 22 years ago. Let's be real - that's an eternity in the computer world and it practically has been there "forever."
The only reason I can see for the Apple comparison is showing that another high end chip does very well without HT - meaning that not having it isn't going to be a death blow to the CPU. At least in theory anyway.
