I think they are disabled from the factory, cores that are not 100%

There is one line for a family, the luckiest ones have the maximum
number of cores and $$$, the rest are lower but still functional on
the advertised cores.
I see in the AMD spec that I have a 4 core CPU, no *-threading. So it
is 4 core, 4 threads, no multi, simultaneous, hyper, etc.
Still the sysctl hw.ncpuonline reports 2, but it found 4 and top
displays CPU0 and CPU2 only ( that is 2). I am aware that each pair of
cores is using a shared FPU.
