But I have a MacBook Pro with a single Core i7 processor that shows up as having 8 processors but I think it's not any faster than my older Mac Pro that has two real Xeon processors with two non-hyperthreading cores each and shows up as four processors.
Actually, I was mistaken. The two Xeon processors have four real cores each so the machine does have 8 cores.
