Description

There is the following issue on this page: https://docs.pytorch.org/tutorials/recipes/xeon_run_cpu.html

Two sockets were detected, each containing 56 physical cores. With Hyper-Threading enabled, each core can handle 2 threads, resulting in 56 logical cores per socket. Therefore, the machine has a total of 224 CPU cores in service.

The above has an error. The number of logical cores on each socket is 112 and not 56 when hyperthreading with 2 threads per core is enabled.

Research direction

Open docs.pytorch.org/tutorials/recipes/xeon_run_cpu.html and read the CPU-count example around the run_cpu script. Correct the Hyper-Threading calculation so each socket reports 112 logical cores and the total is stated consistently, then verify the rendered page.
