Should two processors show up in CPU-Z?

Bernard-Shakey · 29 Mar 2011 at 21:51

I have an IBM A-pro 6217 and when I run CPU-z on it, it only shows one processor (I mean, where it says processor 1 at the bottom of the tab, it is greyed out and it is not possible to choose processor 2)
When I check system properties in windows, and in the bios, there appear 2 processors. Does the fact that only one processor shows up in cpu-z mean that only one of the processors is working?

Regards
Dave.

Is it showing the correct number of threads in Task manager, and does the OS you are using support multiple processors?

If you only have 1 physical processor installed that's all that should show in CPU-Z.

AFAIK the AMD opteron 254 is a single core processor so I am unsure why 2 would appear anywhere else. Is it a Dual socket motherboard?

Edit - Checked the model spec online and it comes with 2 CPUs in, using an up to date version of CPU-Z?

How many threads show up in task manager?
