Question on /proc/cpuinfo

Hi,

I wanted to understand what exactly /proc/cpuinfo shows?

We have a machine with following specification...

(2x) Intel Xeon 6-core processors

So, ideally it shouls have 12processors, but the output on /proc/cpuinfo shows 24 processors.

Can someone please explain how this is calculated.

Thanks!
