Intel is removing hyper-threading from its CPUs. I wanted to know why and what its Lunar Lake laptop processors mean for future desktop processors too.
When Intel ushered in its 12th generation Alder Lake laptop and desktop hybrid processors three years ago, it set in motion a process that would redefine how a CPU is designed and also how it works with Windows. Its recent Lunar Lake mobile processor launch is the fourth generation of these CPUs that features two different types of cores and the biggest changes this time around are primarily down to how those cores function as a team.
Now, moving from the more recent Meteor Lake Core Ultra 100 to Lunar Lake Core Ultra 200 series, you’re most likely something of an earlier adopter or have a high refresh of your technology. Meteor Lake is still a great design and cutting edge in many areas such as AI. However, Lunar Lake still offers significant CPU AI and power efficiency enhancements.
Even with a hybrid architecture you could still have hyper-threading and push forwards some performance metrics but hyper-threading will hit us negatively on power efficiency and power per thread – overall it’s a net neutral or even net negative result which is why Lunar Lake doesn’t support it.
