Maybe 2 higher-powered primary threads + 64 aux threads or something. I don't know how that makes sense as part of a single core but I don't have a better guess.

That's what it is, as shown on slide 6 (Die Architecture). Personally I would call this 16 big cores and 32 throughput cores but for some reason Intel is calling it 8 cores.
