The only thing that the Intel chip has over the AMD is the higher turbo and possibility of hitting 5GHz with a golden chip... If Ryzen 2 is able to hit ~4.5GHz reliably it is game over for Intel.
On the mobile page, it says the i3 parts are 4C/8T, but that looks the i5s - typo? Also, leads me to wonder what the actual i3 parts will be, quad no HT or dual with HT...

When a Pentium chip has HyperThreading but your i7 DOESN'T ....feels bad manGlossGhost - Thursday, April 25, 2019 - link

I still never understand why they need so many sku's...peevee - Friday, May 3, 2019 - link
If you hire marketoids instead of engineers, they will find something to write in their weekly reports.crotach - Wednesday, April 24, 2019 - link
I can't wait for 2030 and 14nm++++++ CPUs :)rev3rsor - Wednesday, April 24, 2019 - link

Why is there no 100% HT availability to the i-series processors? Does it cost Intel too much?peevee - Friday, May 3, 2019 - link
How would they sell i9s if i7s are the same?Not having HT on 4-core i3s is a major bummer. But beyond that cache and memory bus contention makes HT even less useful.
