Comment 1 Méven 2024-11-30 11:34:52 UTC
That’s a 4 core, 8 threads CPU
https://www.intel.fr/content/www/fr/fr/products/sku/80806/intel-core-i74790-processor-8m-cache-up-to-4-00-ghz/specifications.html

The issue is with the label, is should be "Number of Effective Cores" or something like that.
Comment 2 John Kizer 2024-12-06 08:13:42 UTC
I see the same labeling - my AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D with 16 threads is labeled as 16 "CPUs".

What does /proc/cpuinfo say?

plugins/cpu: Use physical ID to determine number of CPUs

The ID from the cpu info has no relation to the number of physical CPUs.
For that, we need to check the physical ID of the CPU. So use that if
it's available. If it's not available, we end up defaulting to 1 CPU
which is probably what we want anyway.
