Just a note here: Threads have nothing to do with CPU cores, threads & processes are OS specific... Single core can run multiple threads, so no freezing on single core either (with a proper OS).
Nope. Multiple threads can run on 1 core, true, but not at the same time (without HT anyway). They will be switching places so if one freezes it can freeze PC completely (and it happened on my old PC a lot there everything froze with no response, just still image).
