Summary:	KInfoCenter's "About System" reporting of number of CPU cores is strange

Description Michael D 2014-10-05 08:41:21 UTC

Version 4.11.11 shows (in "About System") that the number of cores on my AMD A10-5800K, which is 4, is

"1 x AMD A10-5800K APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics, 3 x AMD A10-5800K APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics".

It obviously makes more sense to simply report

"4 x AMD A10-5800K APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open KInfoCenter and navigate to "About System" while running a quad core AMD Trinity APU

Actual Results:  
It strangely reports the correct number of cores

Expected Results:  
It reports the correct number of cores in a natural way

Still waiting for information.

Comment 4 Michael D 2020-01-20 09:44:41 UTC

Sorry, I no longer have that CPU, so can't follow up.

Comment 5 Harald Sitter 2020-01-20 09:53:20 UTC

Thanks, closing this report then. The code has evolved quit a bit since it was reported so chances are it's fixed actually.

For future developer reference: the string is built out of all detected CPUS, so solid would have detected the one CPU as two sockets for some reason (possibly bc of the APU). The actual model names look the same and could have been merged to make this a single reported CPU regardless.
