Re-using someone else's brilliance - Figuring out CPUs and Sockets - Updated!

I found this: -

Figuring out CPUs and Sockets - Updated!

whilst helping a colleague dig into the underlying capacity of a multi-socket / core Linux box.

The article includes tips such as: -

lscpu | grep "socket"

Core(s) per socket:    1

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "physical id" | sort -u | wc -l

4

egrep -e "core id" -e ^physical /proc/cpuinfo|xargs -l2 echo|sort -u

physical id : 0 core id : 0
physical id : 2 core id : 0
physical id : 4 core id : 0
physical id : 6 core id : 0

dmidecode | grep -i product

Product Name: VMware Virtual Platform
Product Name: 440BX Desktop Reference Platform

grep -i "physical id" /proc/cpuinfo | sort -u | wc -l

dmidecode |grep -i cpu
