Kaby Lake Pentium G4620 - has it got hyperthreading?

[Uriel]

Engineering samples of this CPU sometimes came with hyperthreading. It's mentioned on CPU world here:

http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Pentium_Dual-Core/Intel-Pentium G4620.html

OCUK website makes no mention of it. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/inte...ocket-lga1151-processor-retail-cp-62m-in.html

Can someone confirm whether it's made it into the final chips?

A 3.7GHz dual core Kaby with HT might do alright in a budget gaming build.

Edit: According to CPU world, the following Pentiums have hyperthreading:

Pentium G4560 2 / 4 2.9 GHz 3 MB 35W HT >
Pentium G4600T 2 / 4 3 GHz 3 MB 35W HT >
Pentium G4560 2 / 4 3.5 GHz 3 MB 54W HT >
Pentium G4600 2 / 4 3.6 GHz 3 MB 51W HT
Pentium G4620 2 / 4 3.7 GHz 3 MB 51W HT

Mother of god. It look like all the G4xxx kaby lake pentiums come with HT enabled.

This is actually about the most interesting progress Intel have done in the consumer range in some time.

£65 for a 3.5Ghz 2c/4t chip.

G4520 downwards don't have HT.

It's not easy to spot. How is your average consumer to note that the G4520 and downwards are 2/2 skylakes and above are 2/4 Kaby Lakes?

I didn't notice.

It looks confusing when presented on CPU world as a list:

http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Pentium_Dual-Core/Intel-Pentium G4620.html

Pentium G4400T
2 / 2
Pentium G4500T
2 / 2
Pentium G4400
2 / 2
Pentium G4500
2 / 2
Pentium G4560T
2 / 4
Pentium G4520
2 / 2
Pentium G4600T
2 / 4
Pentium G4560
2 / 4
Pentium G4600
2 / 4
Pentium G4620
2/4

Just from the numbering - how is an uneducated consumer to tell how many threads one of these has (or indeed which one is Sky and which one is Kaby)?

Anyway - on the bright side, these seem like the obvious choice to me for anyone looking for a £60-100 CPU to put in an affordable gaming build. They are the most significant and exciting change in the Kaby Lake lineup compared to Intel's previous lineup.

To quote Weird Al:

Just looked elsewhere and the G4560 is £66 and has HT. Looks like an awesome budget CPU.

£65 on OCUK: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/inte...ocket-lga1151-processor-retail-cp-62o-in.html (note: OCUK website misbehaving for me just now).

Another thing that's interesting about this, is it may force AMD to undercut it with the AM4 Bristol Ridge lineup. That could sting a bit, assuming AMD will be shipping in volume.
