Task Manager of prototype Intel CPU shows Core and Logical processor count are the same at 8.
This is still a relatively low end chip if its just 8 cores and a 13500 has 6 + 8 = 14 total so this is maybe a laptop processor. Hyperthreading probably doesn’t make sense anymore.
The multi thread performance would be handled by e cores. I guess the trade off for smt is no longer worth it with e cores in the picture.
