Note that none of the CPUs in the article have that Zen architecture.
One of the most interesting and poorly exploited features of these new Intel chips is that four cores share an L2 cache, so cooperation among 4 threads can have excellent efficiency.
They also have user-mode address monitoring, which should be awesome for certain tricks, but unfortunately like so many other ISA extentions, it doesn't work. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/t...
