Eh, what’s a thread really? It’s a term for us humans.
The difference between two threads and one core or two cores with shared resources?
Nothing is really all that neat and clean.
It more of a 2 level NUMA type architecture with 2 sets of 6 SMP sets of 2.
The scheduler may look at it that way (depending), but to the end user? Or even to most of the system? Nah.
