Nah, vCPU is generally just hyperthreading. See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/cpu-opti...

So you get 2 vCPUs per core.

Thanks for the link, that's great to know about AWS.

I don't think all other VPS providers are that good about things - googling around for some other definitions of vCPU (in VPS context) I see a lot of examples of 16 thread server CPUs handling "128 vCPUs".
