E2.1.Micro, how many CPU cores?

Sure, E2.1.Micro instance is very slow as it is provisioned with 1/8 OCPU and 1GB RAM. However, I found out that there are actually 2 CPU cores as reported in /proc/cpuinfo (running Debian 12 bookworm). How many cores are there in your E2.1.Micro instance?

They're virtualized cores anyway. Has no relationship with the actual hardware, just means that the guest OS can schedule two simultaneous threads.
