New rumors point to Intel radically changing their CPUs starting with Arrow lake:

Apparently, Intel will ditch Hyperthreading completely in favor of lots of cores, 40 of them in this case. This would be probably be the start of the "Royal Core" architecture, basically a successor to the current Core architecture, which could possibly be what Jim Keller was doing at Intel lately. The timing would fit since Jim left Intel prematurely due to differences with it's leadership over their foundry prospects.
