This is my experience as well. And I think this is incorrect. I'm
almost certain that there's only one thermal sensor per core, so
hyperthreaded cores should only be listed once. I have a patch fixing
this see, below if you want to give it a try.

This is due to the way the kernel enumerates the CPUs. As I understand
it, it enumerates all cores first, and only then the hyperthreaded
siblings.

Subject: hwmon: (coretemp) Skip duplicate CPU entries

On hyperthreaded CPUs, each core appears twice in the CPU list. Skip
the second entry to avoid duplicate sensors.
