Windows: Determine number of cores from a performance monitor file?

Question

Is there any way to determine how many cores a particular machine's CPU has based on a Performance Monitor file I have?

Additionally, can we see if hyperthreading is enabled?

For a period of high usage, it seems the total % Processor Time is 94 which would suggest 1 core at nearly 100% usage - I believe, it would be >100 for 2 cores etc?

Additionally, the % Process time is 196% which would suggests hyperthreading is enabled?

Thoughts?

'ProcessorPerformance' will show a number of instances, usually called 'PPM_Processor_X' - that's the number of logical cores available to you. No way to tell if they're regular or HT threads though sorry.

Where can I find that, @Chopper3? – Dave Clarke Sep 18 '13 at 09:37
it's one of the perfmon root counters – Chopper3 Sep 18 '13 at 09:44
