No one seems to have an opinion ??
Think about this one (and I am not talking about HT aka hyperthreading):
A single-board (one physical CPU-socket aka Central Processing Unit) can have up to "n" cores (aka processors).
I.e. a single-CPU-board, meaning one CPU-socket having 4 cores (processors), is shown as 1(4) in the #CPU(cores) column. Looks OK to me.
But a dual-board ( 2 real CPU-sockets), where each CPU-socket has, let's say 6 cores, shows up in the stats under the above mentioned
column as 6(12). No joke - it does!
To me, please correct me - so that I can understand the math behind it, this means this "exclusive" board has 6 phsical CPU-sockets, each with
only 2 (two) cores!
Now that would be a board I would really like to buy!!
I am well aware of the wise-spread misuse of these terms - but please ....
Thanks for reading up to here - as a reward I wish you all a nice week.
