as you can see from the screen shot webmin returns 8 cores in the textual output but only shows 4 cores in the graphical display, as this is a local machine I know for sure there are only 4 cores, unless Dell through in an extra 4 and have not told anyone
as you can see 4 cores
but if use grep -c ^processor /proc/cpuinfo this returns 8
which is exactly right as per the manufactures specification are using the processor count to indicate the amount of cores ?
Webmin is reporting what it is told, this is all below its level and not something we want to try to micromanage. You got a CPU that fibs a little, puffing itself up to pretend to be bigger than it is. We’re not going to try to figure out which CPUs do that and what the truth is, we’re just going to print what the tools report.
So in one place its reporting 4 cores and else where 8. Fair enough webmin is doing what it’s told however from the evidence I supplied you can get the correct core and cpu count
I agree. The cpuinfo file has the correct cores count. I don’t have a threaded processor so I don’t know where this comes from since I don’t have a threaded processor to check:
