Number of cores in Conky (intel sandy bridge)

Hi, I have mobile Intel core i3-2310m CPU with 2 real cores and 4 threads.
I use conky to monitor usage.

CPU: ${cpu cpu0}%   ${cpubar cpu0 6}
CPU: ${cpu cpu1}%   ${cpubar cpu1 6}
CPU: ${cpu cpu2}%   ${cpubar cpu2 6}
CPU: ${cpu cpu3}%   ${cpubar cpu3 6}
CPU: ${cpu cpu4}%   ${cpubar cpu4 6}

But I dont know which of this parameters is real core, which is general for all cores?
can anybody help? thanks

Re: Number of cores in Conky (intel sandy bridge)

Just read the documentation for the cpu object; either the man page or online.

Edit: documentation covers general/total usage and individual CPUs. With hyperthreading your i3 would present 4 individual CPUs (and I think that's all conky sees), even if there are only 2 real cores.

With my friends i3-2370M, conky sees four individual CPUs, even though it is 2 cores and 4 threads.

Re: Number of cores in Conky (intel sandy bridge)

But my conky see 5 cores...and that is the problem.... or there are 4 hyperthreading and one core as sum of all?

Thanks, as I supposed, cpu0 is total usage of all cores....
