No, Windows recognizes that the chip is hyperthreaded.
Back when we had single core chips, when Intel released hyperthreading it appeared that you actually had 2 CPU's.
Today, with quad core chips, we have 4 cpu's. However, when each core has hyperthreading turned on, it appears that we have 8 cores.
You should see 8 CPU's under Windows (or Linux) with a core i7. But that doesn't change the fact that it's a quad core chip. Everything is displaying just as it should.
Hopefully that makes sense.
