For vCPUs why doesn't the model name agree with the architecture of the server via /proc/cpuinfo?
Ignoring the model name, it appears this **cloud server** has 4 single core processors without hyperthreading.

However the model name indicates that it's quad core.  I'm not the system admin so I didn't buy this instance of a cloud server, nor have I been configuring it.  Doesn't this look a little off though?

 1. Does this box have 4 single core CPUs with no hyperthreading or is it a quad
    core?
 2. Why is it normal for a vCPU to have the specs be different than what
    the manufacturer's specs are?
