Processor count needs some minor adjustment

[Jeff Lane ]

I don't know exactly where C3 gets the processor information from, but the display needs just a little tweaking, or the tool that produces the data for C3 needs some tweaking.

This is an example:
https://certification.canonical.com/hardware/200905-2781/submission/8061/processor/

This machine does not have 16 CPUs, it has 16 Cores or 4x Quad Core Xeon processors.

but the data for CPU count does indeed say there are 16 CPUs:

Count: 16

I'm pretty sure this is an easy fix, and if this is not something that can be fixed on the C3 side, feel free to re-assign this as a checkbox problem instead. I'd just add a task for CB, but am hesitant to have a bug wtih both a private and public project listed together.

This was discussed during the demo of the original feature, but the data we get from Checkbox is ambiguous:

This is processor info message from a submission.

The message on the page is slightly ambiguous because the data is ambiguous.

This comes from the cpuinfo resource job. I would like to split this bug into a few smaller bugs:

1) come up with a better resource job that understands logical CPUs, sockets and perhaps hyperthreading
2) use the new data in all the exporters
3) use the new data on C3

I'll set as Triaged, work is outlined in comment #2, and although tracking each item in a separate bug may be useful, it can be done once we decide to start working on this.
