- makomk 7y agoYeah. As the article says, losing hyperthreading effectively downgrades your Core i7 to a Core i5, since (depending on generation) that's one of the main differences between the two processor series.
- gsnedders 7y agoAs of the 9th generation, Core i7 doesn't have hyperthreading.
- sq_ 7y agoIs it possible they're talking about a chip where the K version had hyperthreading but the lower end of that line didn't? Haven't kept up on Intel well enough for the last two years or so to be sure, but I seem to remember there being a generation where that happened.
- simion314 7y agoMy bad, I considering buying i7 and got an i5 , I got confused.
