[wlug] Intel Moving Away From Hyperthreading?

Looks like Intel’s next-generation i7 product family will abandon hyperthreading in favour of increasing the core count.

Also, it looks like Intel’s current fab technology is running out of steam, while the new one is a bit behind schedule. <https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/07/leaked-benchmarks-show-intel-is-dropping-hyperthreading-from-i7-chips/>
