If it's a 7th-gen intel CPU, those "i7"'s only had two real cores with hyperthreading making it look like there were 4. HT had to be disabled because of https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2018/09/02/qsb-43/ (Known to affect Intel CPUs, doesn't look like it affects AMD.)

Why not buy an owner controlled libreboot supporting pre-PSP KCMA-D8 or
KGPE-D16? They are the last and best owner controlled x86 systems, as of
now OpenPOWER (cpu arch on TALOS 2 libre server/workstation) is the only
owner controlled cpu arch and we must try to get qubes ported to it.

If you want a laptop the G505s is the last and best owner controlled
pre-psp x86 laptop (it supports coreboot with open cpu/ram init)
