Recently, confidential information from Intel about the upcoming 15th generation Arrow Lake processors appeared. Important information related to hyperthreading, an important feature of Intel processors, has been discovered by the German news site 3DCenter.org. Hyperthreading increases the total number of threads for the CPU, providing better scheduling of ongoing tasks.

The confidential material was leaked by X (formerly Twitter) user @yuuki_ans and has since been taken down. Now the leaked Intel documents suggest that the company plans to move away from hyper-threading altogether!
This is a massive change in processor architectural design. In addition, Intel is moving to a new type of core configuration for future processors. The change has already been implemented on Core Ultra notebook processors.
A new type of LP E-core is added to Intel processors. This stands for Low Power E-cores, also called Low Power Island. With more efficient scheduling, Intel wants to use this extremely low-power and super-efficient core type for background tasks. Anything that doesn't require the compute requirements of P-cores and E-cores will run on LP E-cores instead.
