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

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Dear Bug Submitter,

This is a reminder that this bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? This bug will be moved back to REPORTED Status for manual review later, which may take a while. If you are able to, please lend us a hand.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

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.
