I am wondering, i have a core i7 with 4 cores and hyperthreading, so the system sees that there are 2x4 cpu

I made some experiments, and I saw that running a VM with 2 cpu with 4 cores it's 10 times more expensive than a single cpu with 8 cores.

The cpu has 4 cores + 4 virtual cores, in your opinion, how many cores should I assign? 1 cpu with 4 cores or 1 cpu with 8 cores?
