[dmidecode] Detecting dual-core processor

[Giulio Orsero]

Linux 2.4

How, if possible, to detect whether the running processor is a dual-core one
using dmidecode?  

If there is a way to do it, does it depend (the detection) on the system
running an smp kernel?

Cannot look at /proc/cpuinfo since kernel 2.4 doesn't show the number of
cores.

Thanks.
