Does a dual-core processor also have hyperthreading in each core, or does a dual-core processor always count as 2 processors?


It depends on the model. Some do and some don't- check your intel specs sheet. I know this xeon is dual core with ht:

"Dual Core Processor 2.8GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2 x 2MB L2 cache, 135W,
90nm, mPGA604"

With this model, linux sees 8 CPUs. but there are two physical ones in there. Quad core, quad cpu, hyperthread. not sure about that one but sounds pretty crazy. 4*4*2
