I agree. No sense in jumping to conclusions so early.
They market them as 4 module / 8 core. This is traditionally known as 4 'cores' running 8 threads.
Hopefully the performance scales almost linearly from single-thread to multi-threaded workloads. The tech makes quite a bit of good sense, just like Intel hyper-threading.
