I yearn for the days when companies were a single company, not dozens of sub-companies.

Mostly in the medical field, but technology is right up there as well.

To improve the competitive positions of Intel's high-performance CPUs, Tan said Intel plans to re-enable simultaneous multithreading (SMT) to P-cores in client processors.

Though this might be a seemingly reasonable assumption he didn't say this at all. He was talking datacenter with regards to SMT. The only products in datacenter I'm aware of without SMT are the E-core parts and adding SMT to them would seemingly defeat the purpose of them.

This is the SMT quote from Tan's letter:

In data center, we are focused on regaining share as we ramp Granite Rapids while also improving our capabilities for hyperscale workloads. To support this, we are reintroducing simultaneous multi-threading (SMT). Moving away from SMT put us at a competitive disadvantage. Bringing it back will help us close performance gaps. We are also making good progress in our search for a new leader of our data center business, and I plan to share more on that this quarter.
