Not likely, because the 54xx family is very wide spread and nothing 
special with regards to its topology. It also has the same topology as 
53xx. These are systems limited to two physical sockets, each of which 
can have a single, dual or a quad core CPU and the 5xxx motherboards 
accept all CPUs from series 50xx, 51xx, 52xx, 53xx, 54xx. In short - 
these are very, very common systems.

My guess would be that someone, somewhere is lying - I don't know if 
CPUID can be (wrongly) updated by microcode, for example, or if the 
mptable can be corrupted in a way to represent two physical (socketed) 
CPUs as one.
