  • Thanks Stephen. Do you know what does this line mean? Thread(s) per core: and Core(s) per socket:. I see a big difference in the above two machines. Commented Aug 6, 2015 at 22:45
  • Cores per socket is the number of cores in each CPU, and threads per core is 2 if hyperthreading is supported and enabled. In the KVM case you're only seeing one because that's presumably what's configured in the VM. Commented Aug 6, 2015 at 23:20
  • +1 for mentioning the KVM VM: is the number of threads/core how you deduced the machine was running inside a KVM? I wish I could upvote twice for you providing this. I should have thought about that too... ;-) Commented Aug 7, 2015 at 8:57
