The K thing is about overclockability, not HT.

Yeah. As the article says, losing hyperthreading effectively downgrades your Core i7 to a Core i5, since (depending on generation) that's one of the main differences between the two processor series.

As of the 9th generation, Core i7 doesn't have hyperthreading.

Is it possible they're talking about a chip where the K version had hyperthreading but the lower end of that line didn't?

Haven't kept up on Intel well enough for the last two years or so to be sure, but I seem to remember there being a generation where that happened.

My bad, I considering buying i7 and got an i5 , I got confused.
