I am unable to run Arch linux installation medium on a VirtualBox virtual machine that has more than one CPU core. When I run virtual machine with one core, it takes a few seconds to go into usable state (where system now able to get input from me) but when I run virtual machine with two or more core, it hangs at some point where it says something about QEMU, I don't really understand but the errors are mostly like that.
[ *** ] (1 of 4) A start job is running for Load/Save Random Seed (5min 30s / 10min) // doesn't need to be Load/Save Random Seed, can be something else like Monitoring for LVM2 etc.

and also an error different from those is.
[ TIME ] timed out waiting for device /dev/virtio-ports/org.qemu.guest_agent.0
[DEPEND] dependency failed for QEMU guest agent.
My VirtualBox config is nearly same as what it gives me by default for Arch. Other than defaults, EFI is enabled(Doesn't matter, problems persists on or off.), memory is 4096 and CPU is 2 or more. Everything is fine with one processor.

I finished the installation with one processor and tried to adjust processor count on the installed Arch, same problem exists again. Not same errors but still can't boot the OS with two and more processor on virtual machine. Everything is fine when booting on a physical computer.

It's a bit unclear. Are you running both Qemu and Virtualbox together? Are you running Qemu machine in Virtualbox? As far as I know Qemu and Virtualbox together in same machine don't get along.

No I'm just using VirtualBox, no QEMU. Might Archiso assume that I'm using QEMU as virtualization while I don't?

I test with VMWare Workstation Player, two processor and 4GB memory, EFI enabled. It works fine in VMWare Workstation but can't boot in VirtualBox. Host is Windows.

Host is Windows.
Did you actually follow this official Virtualbox install Archlinux as guest guide?
If you did are you still not able to choose the number of CPU cores to use for the VM settings in the Virtualbox GUI (System -> Processors)?
