I think the terminology is a bit muddied here because AMD has historically referred to physical cores as "modules" and logical cores as "cores" (although their current spec sheet [1] seems to use "cores" and "threads" in the way that most understand them). So in a dual-socket setup, 2 x EPYC 9754 would indeed yield 512 threads (logical cores), which are backed by 256 physical cores.
