I don't mind the term virtual-thread. But it has to be in the right context.
Using LaurV's example counts above: "The OS has 50 virtual threads that it will manage and schedule to the 8 CPU threads. The CPU will then in turn schedule the 8 threads into the 4 cores."
I think that more closely matches the virtual-memory paradigm.
But a virtual core is never correct IMO. We can't allocate cores to some virtual space, we allocate threads.
