Try lscpu. Useful lines:

CPU(s):                          12
On-line CPU(s) list:             0-11
Thread(s) per core:              2
Core(s) per socket:              6
Socket(s):                       1

So this machine has one socket, 6 cores in the socket, 2 threads
per core, which looks like 12 CPUs.

You should find that your has one socket, 4 cores in the socket,
2 threads per core, which looks like 8 CPUs.
