The Intel website shows wrong informations, on some sites you can see

use the Intel website, you cannot trust the informations about a CPU

Check the flags /proc/cpu told ... there is a "ht" which means
hyper-threading.
I agree there can be some mistakes on the intel site.
But I double-check in other places. The processor really looks like it
is a
Conroe (core microarchitecture), so it really can't have hyper-threading.
Obviously something is wrong on the /proc/cpuinfo but I think it is
the ht
flag.
There may be an easy way to tell. The "Intel Inside" sticker on the
front of the server should indicate whether the processor is
hyper-threaded. I have a PowerEdge 750 here with a hyper-threaded P4,
and the sticker has a little "HT" in the upper right-hand corner.
The more I look into this, the more I believe that your processor does
not have Hyper Threading. First, as mentioned before, is the proof
presented in Intel's comparison chart of Xeon processors:
http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/chart/xeon.htm
Also, my desktop PC has an INtel Pentium D dual-core process that is
*not* hyper-threaded. However, the "ht" flag still appears:
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo

This at least proves that you can't entirely trust the flags. For
reference, my PC is running the 2.6.17-2 SMP kernel.
