Again: threads in software have nothing to do with CPU cores. Even a
single core single threaded CPU you run multithreaded software. The only
difference is the lower performance due to the context switches
neccessary for the CPU to handle different threads and the fact that
multiple cores can run more multiple threads at the same time.
