ARM hardware varies greatly, you don't want to restrict that much.

Some boards have one core and 512MB of RAM, others have 8 cores and
1GB, others 8 cores and 32GB, others 96 cores, and so on.

You have mostly answered my questions, though.

Single -> multi thread in a single core is mostly noise and the number
of threads are detected from the number of available cores. That
should be fine on most cases, even on old ARM.
