Hi, I encounter a strange issue, according to man page, each handle should be unique, but when I use dmidecode -t 4 or dmidecode --no-sysfs -t 4 to get processor info, two records have same handle

$dmidecode  -t 4
# dmidecode 3.0
Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs.
SMBIOS 2.7 present.

Handle 0x0004, DMI type 4, 42 bytes
