Hyperthreading and multiple cores are not the same.  A multiple core is a true
dual/quad/etc chip; the only differences are that they share the L2 (usually)
and are all on the same piece of silicon.  A hyperthreaded chip is a single core
that can pull instructions from two streams at once.  The difference is subtle
but important.
