Rock 4c+ hidden cores?

I make regular use out of “sudo lshw”.
When using it on armbian, twister, unubtu, there are 2 “DISABLED” cores shown (6 and 7, for a total of 8 cores).
lscpu --extended -a or other methods do not show this, leading me to think lshw is in err.
I am wondering what might cause that or if a micro controller is found.
Curious cat here.
