12 Answers 12. You have to look at sockets and cores per socket. In this case you have 1 physical CPU (socket) which has 4 cores (cores per socket). I have one socket, two cpus per socket, so that would mean a total of 2.
A core is usually the basic computation unit of the CPU-it can run a single program context (or multiple ones if it supports HW threads such as hyperthreading on intel CPUs), maintaining the correct program state, registers, and correct execution order, and performing the operations through ALUs.
