Something on your computer is blocking access to those. Check the Task Manager and see how many cores and logical processors are being reported. You can also check with CPU-Z.
Are you running ThrottleStop in a sandbox or anything like that? What antivirus program are you using?
An 8130U has 2 cores and 4 threads. ThrottleStop should be showing data for each of the 4 threads.

Edit - If I use the Task Manager to block access to the first 4 threads, this is what is reported.

If you are running any game optimization software, sometimes it will go through the tasks running on your computer and limit tasks to certain cores. I am not a big fan of this stuff but if it improves your FPS then I guess it is necessary.
