I think this is the problem — for people who don't know, they see their 4-core
CPU report "8 x $CPU". That's kind of confusing. They'll think it means cores
and might think they want a 16-core CPU as an upgrade rather than a 8-core, for
instance.

My suggestion of:

"12 × AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor" -> "AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (6 cores, 12
threads)"

could drop the thread count and only reference the number of physical cores if
we feel it's too technical, but we should probably give the core count, not the
thread count.
