The CPU has 14 cores and can process 20 threads simultaneously, which means either a 6P + 8E cores configuration or a 4P and 10E cores configuration (we would assume the latter)

Why would you assume the latter? Have you ever seen E cores in groups other than 4??? it has to be 6P + 8 E.
Results look comparable to current gen.

Because they can't do math. 4P and 10E cores would be 18 threads, not 20. If it was 4P cores, it would need to be 12E cores.

Additionally to Cyrusfox's point, someone failed maths class. Lets go over it slowly for those in the back:
4 P-Cores with HTT are 8.... 10 E-Cores with no HTT are 10 = Total of 14 Cores and 18 threads - Can't be this one, the numbers don't match
6 P-Cores with HTT are 12.... 8 E-Cores with no HTT are 8 = Total of 14 Cores and 20 threads - HAS to be this one since both the number of threads and cores match up... either that or somehow 2 P or E cores get a magic 3rd/2nd thread which is just not happening

I recently bought an HP Pavilion laptop with an i7-1260p. It has 4P+8E cores. So, 4P core processors do exist.

The point I was making is the E cores are in a cluster of 4 on the die. We have not seen Intel segment them in units less than 4(Curious if this is possible but as they share cache not sure), I think we will see 4,8,12,16 E cores with Raptor lake which from my understanding increased the cache as well as added another set of 2 E core clusters compared to Alder Lake

I have a 12900K and picked up a 12600K 2nd hand for cheap, I may upgrade both platforms next year. It is lame I need to use Process Lasso to get the E-Cores to behave and be useful in WIndows 10 though. I am going to skip Windows 11.
