It is up to the bios how the cpus are layed out. Any easy way to
check for the info you want is to look at /proc/cpuinfo (you can also
get the info out of /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[x]/topology). Cpus
with the same physical id are in the same package. The info (core_id
core_siblings physical_package_id thread_siblings
and like kind from proc) describes the topology.

Thanks,
Keith
