Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

You have 4 logical cores and 2 physical cores. The term "thread" is not correct, or it is at the very least misleading. "Thread" can refer to a software thread or a hardware thread. And while they're technically the same thing I find that "logical core" is a much better descriptive term than "hardware thread".
