BTW on an Intel machine with smt cpu, htop's display is as expected, AMD machines identify their cores a bit differently and I think that may be relevant. If you can't figure it out yourself you'll probably need someone with an AMD SMT machine to take a look. htop as distributed from upstream just displays all CPUs whether they are online or not. (Same in the newer 3.0.2 version that isn't in ports yet). So it would show all cores on the system but half would be idle. The code to restrict to just "online" cpus is not from upstream, it's added in a patch to the port; better to report to the port's maintainer and/or ports@ list rather than upstream.
