Hi,

I don't get the numbers of CPUs -- AFAIK Core i7 has 4 cores with 2 logical CPUs per core (hyper-threading?) and that makes 8 logical CPUs. Above I see 8 cores per package (!) _but_ 8 x 2 = 16 while only 8 CPUs are detected and started. Could someone explain pls ?

The CPU is as you said, 4 actual cores plus their new HT tech. In the tests I did, the HT did help with compile times under RELENG_7
