Re: problem hiding not existing cores per CPU measure

Small question in between.
I´ve done my [not Rainmeter] technical homework. I will have to come up with a different design as planned [the result will be closely the same, but getting the values will be a different apporach]. Before I think of variants, I have a technical question, otherwise following questions might be a waste of everyone´s time.
As far as I know, cores most often have two logical processors [might become more in the future, who knows], sometimes just one. There are CPUs which combine both variants, while each core has its own [dynamic] frequency. So if you have a modern computer the number of logical processors can be very large [and a skin showing them could become using too much screen space easily].
I only have found skins and descriptions to show logical processors or the whole CPU usage, so I guess, what I am asking, isn´t possible in Rainmeter - or not recommendable.
My technical question: Would it be wise to show the values of percentage, frequencies [and temperature] of each core [depending on IF it´s possible to identify the corresponding logical processors [since this would need calculating the accumulation]?] or am I missing an important detail why the information per logical processor [while those values inevitably would be repeated if two belong to the same core] is more relevant?
I know this isn´t a technical forum. But since this question concerns the possibilities of Rainmeter directly and you both know much more about hardware than I do at the present time, I dare to ask.
