Not sure this is true for AWS anymore.
Even a t3.nano gives you 2 vCPUs, which I've always interpreted as meaning they give you 1 core with two threads to ensure that you never share a core with another tenant.
Of course, t2 instances still exist which give 1 vCPU, but there's no reason to create one of those when a t3 gives 2 vCPUs at a lower price. The only reason to be running a t2 is if you created it before t3 existed and just haven't bothered migrating.
