You have to understand that "hyperthreaded core" is not true core. It can do only certain things. It is difficult to assess this performance, but I'd say in common tasks you can not get more than ~20% performance from ht-core (compared to the real core). Sometimes more, othertimes none at all.

So if you are running cpu-intensive tasks (like video-encoding), it is better to let your VM (with 8 vCPU) to use both pCPUs (4 true cores of each one), even if you loose a few CPU-cycles due to NUMA.
