Others in this area sometimes use the same kind of source, yes-but usually to greater levels of success. |
Yeah. I don't take much stock in rumors.
But it's the only reason why Intel would logically get rid of Hyper-threading. Otherwise they are leaving efficiency and performance on the table.
Engineering samples sometimes come with SMT disabled, so these rumors often make the rounds before a new CPU release.

But it's only wifi 5 so pretty "dated" these days. My current one is the ASUS RT-AXE7800 which goes on sale often enough and has Wifi 6E capabilities but there are also some interesting quirks of wifi 6e and some fine print material in general with a lot of these modern routers. I'll likely have a review of it sometime this week after my experience with it. But both are pretty great routers. |
Seconded on the ASUS.
They tend to have the better software update support.
Running a positively ancient Asus DSL-AC68U as my modem and an Asus RT-AX3000 V2 as the router, though it has Wifi 6, none of my devices except my phone supports it, so it's a pretty useless feature currently. - That and Wifi 5 manages everything just fine.
