[Debian-eeepc-devel] N280 - Two cores? Kernel lying?

[Hans-J. Ullrich]

Hi all, 
as Intel says, in my EEEPC 1005HGO the CPU N280 is a singlecore processor. But 
the kernel is telling me it has two cores (in linux as in windows as well).

As I do not trust windows, but is the kernel lying?

Look here:

Who is lying now? Any suggestions?
