This is one of those things that's true but mostly pointless. The
question for which the answer is "2" here is really not a useful
question. For nearly all purposes, what's interesting is the number of
CPU cores. The number of actual discrete CPU chips is a hardware
detail with essentially zero consequences for applications.
