According to Intel information that was leaked recently from Twitter, this information has been published. Therefore causing interest in this matter, it is considered to be a widely spread rumor that Hyper-Threading Is a feature that's been around for a long time in Intel CPUs, but that may change shortly. According to the latest report, Intel's upcoming 15th Gen Core "Arrow Lake" desktop processors may ditch HT technology.

The original leaked document revealed quite a few details about the upcoming Arrow Lake-S chips. First of all, they could offer up to 8+16+1 core configurations and support units. DDR5-6400 memory, which will be an improvement over the DDR5-5600 RAM supported by the 14th generation lineup. The document also reveals that Arrow Lake-S will support 24 PCIe lanes, including 16 PCIe 5.0 lanes for the GPU and eight lanes for NVMe. SSD

This is a major decision for Intel, which may disappoint many potential customers. After using the technology for more than 20 years, the discontinuation of Hyper-Threading may adversely affect the performance of Arrow Lake chips in certain situations. Although single-threaded performance may not be affected due to the removal of HT, some multi-threaded applications may experience slight degradation on hyper-threaded processors such as Raptor Lake and Raptor Lake Refresh chips, but this is expected. It doesn't affect gaming. Intel is reportedly aiming to improve gaming performance by 30 percent with the Arrow Lake lineup.

However, this information is still a pure rumor. You must wait for data correction or clarification from Intel again.
