its only based on cpu-cores and Hyperthreading cores. add this numbers, subtract 1. thats your number.
I7 950 - 4 cores 4 HT =8 - 1 =7
I5 2430 2cores 2 HT = 4 - 1 =3
C2D 2 cores no HT = 2 -1 =1
for better calculation you could choose cache size and divide it by 2MB (what comes out again -1)

Thank you for this helpful info. I was underutilizing my cpu cores until I saw your post.
