Threads in sensor panels

[Snakeyes]

Possibly a very dumb question. I have a 8700 K (six cores/12 threads). In the sensor panel I am assuming that threads 1 and 2 represent core 1 and so on and so forth. A friend mentioned that he thought that threads 1 and 7 represented core 1.

There are no threads on the SensorPanel AFAIK.  You may refer to "CPU #x / Core #y" temperatures, which represent only physical cores.  They will show the same values with or without SMT/HyperThreading.
