Intel is ditching Hyper-Threading with its latest Lunar Lake processors. The simultaneous multithreading technology that has steadily delivered two threads per core for decades is being removed from its Lunar Lake processors in favour of more power efficient P-cores and relying more on E-cores for multithreaded performance, as previous rumours had suggested.
"We can scale using E-cores and therefore we have decided to actually not use Hyper-Threading," says Intel's Arik Gihon, lead client CPU SoC architect.
