Intel Lunar Lake CPU at 17W Offers 50% Multi-Threaded Performance Uplift Over Meteor Lake 15W

>> And they’re supposed to lack hyper-threading...

Meteor Lake-U also only has 2 cores out of 10 (or 12 if you want to include those) that can do HT. Depending on how much the chips were turbo-ing, some of this could simply be due to higher sustained clock speeds.

Also, hyperthreading is just supposed to fill the gaps from conventional work allocation in the CPU. Intel's Rentable Units does it without splitting the work into two threads and supposedly fills the gaps more efficiently than HT does, so this certainly helps, especially with a 4+4 configuration compared to 2+8.
