What do you want confirmation on?
You have 1 CPU with 2 cores and hyperthreading... That's all.

Okay, but why is it showing me CPUs?
Before, I couldn't run COD Ghosts, I went into the msconfig tool and enabled the processor state. I set it, and now it runs without any issues...

DxDiag shows you have 4 CPUs because you have 4 threads and it can't manage Intel's hyperthreading. It considers you have 4 CPUs because you have 2 cores, each with hyperthreading.

L'hyperthreading est une technologie développée par Intel qui permet à un seul cœur de processeur de gérer plusieurs threads d'exécution simultanément. Cela augmente l'efficacité du processeur en utilisant mieux ses ressources, ce qui peut améliorer les performances dans certaines applications multithreads. Grâce à l'hyperthreading, un cœur de processeur peut apparaître comme deux cœurs logiques pour le système d'exploitation, ce qui permet de mieux répartir les tâches et de réduire les temps d'attente.

Schematically, hyper-threading consists of creating two logical processors on a single chip[...]
