+/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/:
 
-1) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/physical_package_id:
+physical_package_id:
 
 	physical package id of cpuX. Typically corresponds to a physical
 	socket number, but the actual value is architecture and platform
 	dependent.
 
-2) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_id:

 	identifier (rather than the kernel's).  The actual value is
 	architecture and platform dependent.
