Can that miner use more than 1 thread/core?
Edit your config.txt:

2 cores
Code:
"cpu_threads_conf" :
[
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 0 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 2 },
],

4 cores
Code:
"cpu_threads_conf" :
[
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 0 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 2 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 4 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 6 },
],

etc...

Configured to my i7 as above I get 200 h/s at 50% CPU usage presumably because all 4 physical cores are active. When I enable all 8 cores from 0-7, my CPU is at 100% usage but my hash seems to be limited to around 170 h/s.

Is this an expected result seeing the virtual cores take processing time from the physical cores or is this an anomaly?

The same for me. I get about 130 h/s at 50% CPU for 4 cores. If set to all 8 - 90 h/s and 100% cpu usage.
