This is quite normal. Coremark will probably run inside the core's cache and thus only use the core itself. You're test is probably using the memory and this is shared.
For me the "teensy" specific thing is the quality software eco-system. A RP2350A (or RP2354A + extra flash) Teensy (read here designed by Paul), would do most things that I need.
Both single core and multicore are important. Although -if I read the comments correct- the code doesn't seems to check memory access much.
Most current code will be single core and need to be adapted for multi core. It's nice to know how...
Sad story.
I fear that this gives less sellers in the EU and thus more difficult to get a teensy with some other stuff. A Teensy alone and thus with shipping, will be a lot more expensive.
