Neither. The HTT flag is described as "Multi-Threading" in recent versions of the Intel CPUID document [1], not "Hyper-Threading". In more details, the document says: "The physical processor package is capable of supporting more than one logical processor." This covers both hyper-threading (which your CPU doesn't implement) and multi-core (which your CPU does implement.) So it's OK for your CPU to have the HTT flag set and thus OK for dmidecode to tell you so.
