Explain ark.intel.com CPU counting and linux counting?

http://ark.intel.com/products/40201/...-GTs-Intel-QPI

i see cpu has 4 cores and 8 threads on above page,
but when i do cat /etc/cpu* in linux,

i count 16

so im not sure how to read that ark.intel numbers?

I thought i will multiply cores against threads, but it results 32, so its not true..?

Dammit, I lost track of this thread somehow. My apologies to the OP. I'll try to look into the o/p and see what can I get.

Regards.

Simple answer, this machine features two Xeon L5520 CPUs (physical ID 0 and 1), each with 4 physical cores (or 8 virtual cores/threads, due to Hyperthreading), resulting in a total virtual core count of 16.

Reached home and just looked at the o/p. Looks like Tobi got it already. Two physical CPUs there.

Regards.
