Lion Cove doesn't remove hyper-threading in general. Some variants will have it so Intel still has to validate it (eventually).
But the first part shipping, Lunar Lake, removes hyper-threading. It may have saved them validation time for this particular part but they'll still have to do it.

One with SMT, for server CPUs, and one in which all circuits related to SMT are completely removed, for smaller area and power consumption, to be used in hybrid CPUs for laptops and desktops, together with Skymont cores.
