Kaby Lake Pentium processors get Hyper-Threading

Kaby Lake Pentium processors get Hyper-Threading

The primary Kaby Lake CPUs in the form of the 7600 and 7700 series have been released last week (and took most aattention), there also have been a number of Pentium processors launched, as it now seems something interesting is happening there as a couple of models have hyper-threading enabled.

A user called J_C_W from our colleagues in the Dutch HWI forums noticed the HT enabled Pentiums on the Intel ARK. The models with Hyper-threading would be the:

  • Pentium G4560
  • Pentium G4560T
  • Pentium G4600
  • Pentium G4600T
  • Pentium G4620. 

Historically the last generations Pentium processors only had two cores, and never ever had hyper-threading enabled. This new feature will make the 60 euro processors behave and likely perform at Core i3 level performance. The one thing the Pentium will not support is the AVX2 instruction set, which mainly is handy and very fast with video edition/transcoding. It might be a terrific processor for a low cost net-PC.

The HT enablement has been verified with Intel. It is not a typo in the ARK processor database.

Hopefully this is a move towards:

pentium 2 + 2
i3 4
i5 4 + 4
i7 6/8/12 + 6/8/12

... but again, we're talking about a company that released something like Kaby Lake :bang:

The i3 7350k is a 2c/4t but with overclocking, non k i3's the 7100 has a 3.9ghz base clock but no OC ability and the pentium's are going to be 3.5-3.7ghz base clock and one less mb cache.

So intel's strategy is pay twice as much for an i3 with a 0.4 ghz higher clock and an extra mb of cache...

That took them some time. Nice to see HT on cheap processors.

Just when Intel's name scheme was already confusing, it just got a whole lot worse. If this applies to laptops too, then pretty much every single series Intel has except Celeron will have at least one CPU with 4 threads.

It's weird - Intel claims that one of their primary focuses lately is to reduce power consumption, and yet they allow OCing in i3s and add HT to Pentiums, both of which increase wattage.

I think what Intel should have done was remove a core from Celeron chips and add HT. That way, they stick with their efficiency agenda, no products get obsoleted/redundant, and it becomes a sort of pattern:
Atom - Up to 4 threads, no HT
Celeron - 2 threads, with HT
Pentium - 2 threads, no HT
i3 - 4 threads, with HT
i5 - 4-6 threads, no HT
i7 - 8+ threads, with HT
i9? - 8+ threads, no HT

So why would intel do this , the new i3 k cpu has a dumb high price , like for real to sell a dual core for 180e in 2017 , does intel not care about ryzen ? did they manage to grab a sample from somwere and they find out the IPC is low compare to intel , or they just dont care becouse intel fans buy intel no matter what? i am just curious that's all :D
