KeNumberProcessors and Dual Core

Is there a way to tell the number of “real” CPUs as opposed to the number of
“cores”? A Dual Core CPU shows up with a count of 2 in KeNumberProcessors
just like two “real” CPUs. Thanks.

GetLogicalProcessorInformation will do it in user space, I don’t know if
there is an equivalent in the kernel.
