Dear PLUGgers,

I've noticed across two Ubuntu releases and two Fedora releases, that System Monitor is reporting more CPU cores than I'm expecting. An Intel Atom N processor shows as two CPU cores and an Intel Core i3 processor shows as four CPU cores.

Do Dell laptops have something non-standard about them (I'm bracing for it), or does System Monitor miscount (double-count?) for other lappies?
