What else would they describe it as? There are 8 cores and 16 threads, whether you have to turn off the hyperthreading feature or not is a different matter.

It just feels kinda shady to advertise the peak performance with safety features that should be on off without mentioning that. They should at least include a disclaimer.

Putting disclaimer is like voluntary shooting themselves in the foot.

Most consumer wouldn't care about this anyway and the risk was overblown.

I think that if you turn off hyperthreading it becomes 8 core 8 threads.
