[decisiveness]

It looks like dmidecode also contradicts itself with the hyper threading flag:

    $ sudo dmidecode -t processor | grep -E 'Flags:|HTT|Status|Count'
    	Flags:
		HTT (Multi-threading)
	Status: Populated, Enabled
	Core Count: 4
	Thread Count: 4

Hmmm... yeah that's showing the same on mine too. According to dmidecode, this CPU has hyperthreading.
