I have a Gigabyte 8I945P-G motherboard with a Pentium D 820 CPU.
Hyperthreading needs to be enabled in the BIOS for FreeBSD to see the
second CPU. It appears the CPU presents itself as a hyperthreaded CPU
with two "logical" CPUs - each "logical" CPU actually corresponding to
a CPU core.
I think this is done due to licencing restrictions of several operating
systems (which have CPU-bound licencing models). Showing a second CPU on
a dual-core die as a hyper-threaded seems to avoid this problem. The
question is now: AMD does not have HT, do they also show the second CPU
as a logical one (from the point of view of the BIOS)?
