That thing has got Hyperthreading. So Task Manager is going to show
2x what you would have expected.
http://processorfinder.intel.com/det...px?sSpec=SL96A http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthreading
"Hyper-Threading works by duplicating certain sections of the
processor — those that store the architectural state — but not
duplicating the main execution resources. This allows a Hyper-Threading
equipped processor to pretend to be two "logical" processors to the host
operating system, allowing the operating system to schedule two threads
or processes simultaneously."
