Task Manager of prototype Intel CPU shows Core and Logical processor count are the same at 8.

This is still a relatively low end chip if its just 8 cores and a 13500 has 6 + 8 = 14 total so this is maybe a laptop processor. Hyperthreading probably doesn’t make sense anymore.

    There have been non hyper thread CPUs in every line of every gen chip.

    Almost every i5 was a non hyper threaded version of the i7 chip of the same series. The Celerons have been non hyper threaded versions of the i3 from the same series.

    One screen shot of a single chip doesn’t equate to them ditching it entirely.

    That being said, the efficiency of each core and the ever increasing physical core count makes hyper threading less relevant.

      My argument is that if you have more than 8 cores, hyperthreading is useless. If less than 8, it is beneficial. The original approach to hyperthreading was taken to make dual and quad cores more efficient.
