the ht flag reported by the CPU and cpuinfo is not a reliable detection if
HT is available on your CPU or your motherboard/bios.

Because your CPU reports it. You will see that also in cpuz output.

However, you can see ht in the sibblings value (for a single core it will be
2 if you have HT, I am not sure if it is 4 for a dual core CPU)
