ESXI showing more physical CPUs than I actually have?

Hi, My machine running ESXI 6.7 has randomly started going offline. I was having trouble finding the source until I noticed this:

The Image shows the number of CPUs and the capacity but the information is incorrect.

My machine has 1x i5-4460 CPUs which is 1 CPU, 4 cores and 4 threads.

The next image also shows the incorrect values.

Now the strange thing is that the host machine shows the correct cpu and speed.

I am connecting to this machine using the ip address and I am also only running 2 virtual machines.

I have checked the bios which shows the correct cpu information and have made sure that the values in the bios are suitably set.

I'm quite at a loss with this.

Has any one seen this before or know of a solution?

Or maybe there is a way I can manually set this?

Thanks

I have a suspicion that these are the cores. I think what’s happened is that I stopped thinking.
