htop relies on libsensors to provide reasonable values.
Unfortunately libsensors is not reasonable enough …

The issue might be that sensors indexes by core id, and these have a strange mapping to processors. For some reason core id increments by 4, with two processors per core (hyperthreading). That's for P-cores. For E-cores there is one core id per processor. These match between sensors and cpuinfo. Should htop be tying sensor values to cpuinfo core id?

Here is an abbreviated demonstration:

$ sensors
Core 0:        +39.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 4:        +41.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 8:        +42.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
... etc ...

$ grep 'core id' /proc/cpuinfo
core id         : 0
core id         : 0
core id         : 4
core id         : 4
core id         : 8
core id         : 8
