The machinfo is giving you the no of cores present in the machine

for an example

if you are having a rx 7640 machine the maximum no of physical cpu is 4

check this link
http://h20341.www2.hp.com/integrity/us/en/mid-range/rx7640-options.html

and you are being provided with itanium 2 processors(dual core)
then you are getting a net number of 8 cores or logical cpus(which is the output you are getting in your machinfo) which is actually the core


Check this pdf for more understanding

http://www-07.ibm.com/systems/includes/content/p/advantages/virtualisation/downloads/12470_div.pdf about your server and its physical arrangement


and for your case ur having 3 physical itanium 2 processors and 6 cores in total
